Storm Eunice live: Damage could cost £360m as hundreds of thousands still without power

Damage caused by Storm Eunice could cost more than £360 million, insurers have warned.

Hundreds of thousands of people were still without power on Saturday morning and travel services continued to be disrupted after record-breaking gales struck Britain on Friday.

At least four people died during the horror storm, including a woman who was killed when a falling tree hit a car in Highgate.

A clean-up is set to begin after the storm brought record-breaking gusts of wind to the UK and Ireland.

National Rail said “routes across most of Great Britain” remain affected on Saturday morning, with disruption set to continue throughout the day.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) warned previous similar storms have cost around £360 million in repairs.
