The Image did have a generator so was able to provide some lighting during the power cuts that blacked out almost the whole village. This was the result of flooding of a substation by the River Lune that affected Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham and many nearby villages. Some places close by such as the Yealands, Arnside, Silverdale (and even a part of Warton) were not affected as they were apparently served by another substation.
