Winds Disrupt The North

Severe winds, ranging in speeds from 77 to 129 miles an hour have caused some disruption in Northern England and Scotland.

2,300 homes had lost power in the North East of England as a result of the high winds.

Meanwhile, a lorry blew over and blocked both carriageways of the Forth Bridge.

The bridge had been closed to high-sided vehicles at the time, and the 54-year-old driver has been charged by police over the incident.

Snow, heavy rain and severe winds are expected in the next week in these areas.
