Lengthy power cuts, fallen trees, cancelled events, destroyed garages.

Thousands of people around East Hampshire and south west Surrey were happy to say ta-ra to Storm Darragh.

This Celtic tiger definitely left its mark around the region after blowing in from the west late last Friday.

The worst affected area was arguably Bordon as a roof that was lifted off a garage block during the early hours was scattered over Camp Road.

Local firms – big up to Dave Crowder and Aqua Design Landscaping – spent a couple of hours clearing debris off the road and footpath before authorities arrived late Saturday morning.

Around 20 garages were stripped off their roofs while thankfully no motorists or pedestrians were on Camp Road during the early morning incident.

More was to come as extended power cuts then struck the area, with some parts of Whitehill, Bordon, Hogmoor and Oakhanger being without power for around 20 hours as multiple cables came down.

Scottish and Southern Electricty Networks brought in free emergency catering for affected residents, but some parts of East Hampshire went even longer without power.

Some parts of Selborne went a whole day without electricity with similar lengthy power cuts reported around Langrish, The Hangers, Lower Farringdon and Binsted.

Fallen trees were reported on Ridgway Road and Tilford Road in Farnham, Thursley Road in Elstead and some wooded lanes around the south of the town.

The A272 between West Meon and Bramdean was blocked for several hours following a tree fall while Longmoor Road in Liphook and Kiln Lane in Buriton were among the many affected routes.

Fallen trees also affected roads in Churt, Shalden, Headley and the A31 Alresford bypass, while some events which were months in the pipeline, like the Farnham Christmas Market and Petersfield Christmas Festival also fell victim to the weather.
