Homes across County Durham are still without power after Storm Eowyn devasted the region.
Thousands of properties across Bishop Auckland, Willington, Bowburn, Crook and some North Yorkshire villages are still experiencing power cuts as Northern PowerGrid continue to work on correcting the issues.
A spokesperson for Northern Power Grid said: "Storm Éowyn has impacted over 150,000 customers. Our storm response will continue until our final customer is restored, which will run into early next week. Unfortunately, there are further strong winds forecast later today which may impact our ability to work at height, where overhead repairs are required.
"As we continue to assess damage, we are providing our best view of when we can restore power.
"If your restoration time says 23:00 today, we’re still assessing or progressing the work required. We will update customers as soon as we know a more accurate timeframe. We hope to restore power to most customers today.
"We're updating the power cut map regularly, with more accurate estimated times as soon as we are able. The map gives the same information that is available to our contact centre advisors. If you haven't already, please report your power cut online, it helps us to keep you updated and provide direct updates.
"We're sorry some customers may be without power for an extended period of time, and we want you to know we're here to support you, 24/7.
"If you are in a dangerous situation, there is risk to life, you are medically dependent on electricity, or you require extra support, call us on 105. If you have a medical emergency, call 999 immediately."
The storm caused devastating issues across the region throughout Friday and leading into the weekend with multiple roads blocked with fallen trees, many HGVs turning over on roads and there a power cut on Friday at a hospital.
At the time, a spokesperson for County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust said: "We can confirm that this morning, Chester-le-Street Hospital experienced a power outage between 7:50 am and 9:20 am.
"However, disruption was minimal due to the hospital's backup generators which provided power throughout the period.
"In the event of an outage the hospital's generator system is designed to supply full power for up to seven days, ensuring the safety and continuity of patient care."
