30,000 UK homes still without power after storm

London (AFP) Dec 1, 2021

Tens of thousands of homes in Scotland and northern England remained without power for a fifth day, officials said Wednesday, following one of the most powerful storms in decades. "Storm Arwen" - which hit the region late Friday, killing three people - initially knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of homes following wind gusts of almost 100 miles (160 kilometres) per hour.
