Storms leave UK homes without power

ABOUT 10,000 homes remain without power after gales and lightning strikes caused by a so-called "weather bomb" swept the north of the country.

PROPERTIES in the Western Isles and Skye have been worst affected by the stormy conditions along the west coast of Scotland.

At the peak of the problems yesterday, around 30,000 homes lost electricity, while a further 27,000 were cut off after a lightning strike this morning.The process behind the storm - rapid cyclogenesis - is known colloquially as a "weather bomb".Weather warnings remain in place for much of the UK but the mainland has so far survived relatively unscathed, with the northern isles around Scotland hit the worst.Hundreds of engineers worked yesterday and through the night to restore power to more than 30,000 homes across the Western Isles, Shetland, Orkney and rural areas, only for lightning, which SSE said had been the biggest feature of the "weather bomb", to cause additional disruption.A wind speed of 231km/h was recorded on the remote St Kilda islands yesterday, with gusts of more than 130km/h also hitting some low-lying areas.Forecasters said there could be "significant" snow accumulations in parts of Scotland, with the rest of the UK set to see the white stuff over the weekend.
