Thousands still without power after Storm Boelo

Thousands of households across Cumbria and parts of north-eastern England remain without power in the wake of Storm Boelo.
Electricity North West said it was working to restore power supplies to about 3,000 homes, with the worst affected parts of Cumbria including Allerdale, Copeland and South Lakeland.
Additionally Northern Powergrid said hundreds of customers were cut off in Northumberland and County Durham.
On the trains, Northern said disruption was expected on its services between Carlisle and Newcastle, as well as between Lancaster and Barrow.
Derek Story, from Scotby near Carlisle, said it was "disappointing" how long it was taking to get power back on as the lack of a mobile signal meant he felt a bit "isolated".
Stephen Cawley, also from Scotby, said the absence of an internet connection had led his family to spend time together the old-fashioned way.
"We're back to talking to each other and playing Scrabble," he said.
Many trees have toppled over in the storm, including in South Shields
Westmorland and Furness Council said it responded to 90 calls over the weekend, 70 of which involved fallen or dangerous trees.
