Storm Malik passed on Saturday leaving gentle Sunday morning winds after a day of gusts, powercuts, and damage to buildings.
But more strong winds are set to hit the North East from Sunday afternoon when Storm Corrie arrives.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the North East, taking effect from 3pm on Sunday. The warning, which is less severe than the amber one issued for Storm Malik, will be in place until midday on Monday. It says further disruption to power and transport networks is likely, as is more damage to buildings.
