Storm Barra: Northern Ireland homes hit by power cuts

Northern Ireland homes are experiencing power outages as the effects of Storm Barra are being felt.

Strong winds and heavy rain across the region is causing flooding and road closures as well as the closing of multiple council parks.

Power cuts have been reported by NIE Networks, with engineers currently working to restore supplies.

A spokesperson said: "Due to the number of faults we are currently experiencing on the network, we are unable to provide an estimated restoration time for your electricity supply at this time. We are working to restore supplies as quickly and safely as possible."
