Re: Damage reports 18 Jan 2007

Disruption caused by the UK's strongest storms in 17 years is continuing to affect travel across the country.

Ten people died and thousands of homes were left without power as gusts of up to 99mph battered the UK on Thursday.
The BBC Weather Centre said the worst of the storms had passed, although 60mph gales were forecast for Scotland.
Rail and air passengers were warned to expect delays and cancellations while thousands of homeowners are still waiting for their power to be restored. An overnight clean-up of fallen trees and overturned vehicles took place on the roads while engineers repaired overhead power lines on the railways.
