Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 08:31 · Archive

Storm Boelo caused disruption to over 127,000 customers in North Yorkshire, with around 13,000 still without power.

Storm Boelo caused significant damage to the North Yorkshire power network over the weekend of 25 October, affecting over 127,000 customers. Northern Powergrid restored power to more than 80 per cent of those affected, but expected around 13,000 customers to remain without power on the morning of 26 October.

The Harrogate and Bridlington areas experienced the highest number of disruptions, with outages also reported in Strensall, Osbaldwick, Derwenthorpe and Dunnington. The YO2 area south of York also saw an unplanned power cut. In York, a tree toppled onto four cars and landed on the front windows of Astor Hostels on Holgate Road. The storm also caused disruption on the A169, the key road linking Malton and Pickering, and forced the closure of several county attractions.

Northern Powergrid said in a statement that continued adverse weather hampered repair efforts and acknowledged that the situation was unwelcome for those remaining without power.
