Power cuts and travel disruption across North East and Cumbria
Flood alerts are in place across the region, with a flood warning still active for Keswick campsite, in Cumbria.
The Environment Agency has issued seven flood alerts in the North East, including for the coastal rivers in North Northumberland, the Tyne and Wear coast and the Lower River Tees.
Flood warnings in place earlier around the River Coquet in Northumberland have been downgraded to alerts.
On Saturday there were eight flood alerts across Cumbria, but they have been reduced to two – one for the Upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwent Water, near Keswick, and one for the rivers Brathay, Rothay and Winster at Bowness-on-Windermere.
The Windermere ferry in Cumbria remains out of service due to high winds.
National Highways has now reopened the A19 Tees Flyover near Middlesbrough to high sided and vulnerable vehicles, after it was closed earlier due to strong winds.
