Thousands of properties are experiencing power cuts as Storm Malik brings high winds and dangerous conditions across the North West.
Engineers have restored power to 5,000 but some properties, which were also affected during Storm Arwen in November, are without power again with trees falling on powerlines causing outages.
Around 600 properties are still without power, according to Electricity North West, and engineers are assessing the damage and making repairs where it is safe to do so, the firm said.
It added: “The continuing high winds are making it unsafe for overhead lines teams to climb in some areas and it could be Sunday before all properties are restored.”
Customer director Steph Trubshaw said: “These high winds have been sustained for a few hours and have caused some damage across the region.
“Trees that were perhaps weakened by Storm Arwen have now caused damage to overhead lines in some areas and our teams are out there doing all they can.
“Because of the conditions it is likely to be tomorrow before we will be able to reconnect all properties but I assure customers that our preparations have meant we have teams on the ground to get power back on as soon as we possibly can.”
