Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining?

Storm Malick, with wind speeds of up to 100 mph, recently battered Scotland and Northern England. That storm has, apparently, resulted in UK windfarms generating record amounts of electricity (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/30/uk-windfarms-generate-record-electricity-storm-malik). 'Extra' electricity is always useful, especially when the cost of natural gas is continuing to rocket. The record will be, however, of little consolation to people in that area, who have lost their electricity supplies (again?)/had their properties damaged/been endangered by falling trees etc. A new storm is due to hit the same area within days. Another record?
