Thursday, 9 October 2025 08:15

The Department of Infrastructure says Storm Amy brought significant challenges to the island, prompting a swift response from various services.

In 24 hours, crews addressed 59 reports of fallen trees and 18 flooding incidents, most occurring between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Glen Mooar Road and Church Hill in Laxey remain closed for repairs due to severe weather damage.

Working closely with emergency services and local authorities, the department prioritised public safety during the storm's peak.
