Kent weather: Every area without power according to UK Power Networks

Kent weather Every area without power according to UK Power Networks

Scores of people are without power across Kent as Storm Ciara blasts its way across the county.

Trees have fallen and blocked roads, rogue trampolines have landed on railway lines and in some of the most severe incidents, a house has collapsed on a car.

An amber weather warning was already in place for some parts of Kent - but this has now been increased to cover the whole county and a larger area further afield.

It's in place for all of today (February 9).

Dover has been one of the worst hit places, with wind speeds of 79mph.

But many people who have followed guidelines to stay at home are without power, and in some cases hot water and heating.

UK Power Networks has listed all the places where people have reported cases, and what time, where it can, these places will have electricity once again.

Take a look at the list below to see if your area is affected.
