Electricity North West restores power to 80,000 after Storm Boelo
Electricity North West has restored power to more than 80,000 properties hit by Storm Boelo, with around 3,000 still off supply. Cumbria and Lancashire took the worst damage, with gusts of 78mph recorded at St Bees, and about 100 sites still need physical repair. The company is aiming for full restoration by 6pm on Tuesday 27 October.
Our readThe gap between 80,000 properties back on and 3,000 still waiting shows where storm restoration gets hardest, in the last scattered repairs rather than the bulk reconnection.
