Front Page Coverage
Posted
It is not often that Denton makes the front page of the EDP, but on February 22nd it achieved that distinction. However, it was for all the wrong reasons.
Three winter storms had hit Norfolk in four days, but it was the third, codename "Franklin", that did a lot of damage in Denton. Many properties in the village had trees blown down and minor structural damage. The unfortunate residents of Upland Terrace, on Norwich Road, were not so lucky.
On Sunday evening, the 20th, what many observers called a Tornado, hit the area. As the EDP reported, its centre seemed concentrated on a small area but a number of properties suffered major damage to their roofs etc. Not surprisingly, the occupants, were terrified by the noise as the storm hit.
Needless to say, offers of help poured in from neighbours and further afield. Everyone feels the greatest sympathy for those affected.
