The storm, which struck hard at the farm, blew over a chicken coop, sending it flying several meters, according to official sources. The power went out around 5 PM on Sunday and did not return until Monday morning, as reported by officials. This outage occurred during a critical time for hatching new chicks, forcing farmer MaryAnn Fargo to start her gasoline generator to keep the egg incubator running and maintain warmth for the chicks.
According to SVT Sörmland, MaryAnn Fargo described the situation as really crazy, and she noted that the generator worked well and the chicks stayed warm. The exact wind speed or severity of storm 'Dave' remains unclear, and it is unknown how many chicks were being hatched or affected. Officials have not detailed any other damages or impacts on the farm beyond the chicken coop, and the broader impact of the storm on the local community has not been reported.
