Around 80,000 customers have been affected by power cuts and up to 16,000 customers are still without power, a day after the devastation of Storm Malik saw strong winds batter parts of the UK and two people were killed by falling trees.
Northern Powergrid said those affected are living in Northumberland and County Durham and warned that some people will be without power on Sunday as Storm Corrie is expected to bring another blast of strong winds.
Storm Corrie is set to bring gusts of up to 90mph in exposed coastal locations in northern Scotland, and gusts of 70-80mph gusts in the north, according to the Met Office.
