Thanks for commenting!
I can confirm that I have no mods and I am on 1.21.4 (stable)
I can also confirm that in my house the gear is turning left/anticlockwise. Before I thought it was turning clockwise as I hadn't had an issue before. I only noticed that after the Storm, my TS was not going back up. I have run around and found that the other side of the lake I am settled at, looks to be stable.
My guess is that I had just not noticed how unstable it was until the storm. I will still send through my logs just in case though.
Thanks for the help Prof. Dragon, Echo Weaver and Lady WYT!
