Power cuts and travel disrupted as Storm Jocelyn hits region
Matt Cardy/Getty ImagesStorm Jocelyn has led to widespread disruption in parts of East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with hundreds of homes experiencing power cuts.
Northern Power Grid said 630 customers in Skipsea had been affected, with about 20 homes still without power.
But power has been restored to about 1,200 customers in northern Lincolnshire and 800 in the Humber area.
Rail services in the region were also disrupted.
Meanwhile, at the Humber Bridge gusts of 72mph (115km/h) were recorded, leading to the crossing being closed to high-sided and wind-vulnerable vehicles.
It has since reopened to all traffic but with a 30mph (48km/h) speed restriction in place.
A Northern Power Grid spokesman said power supplies to about 27,000 customers in the north-east, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire had experienced some disruption.
"Our teams are continuing to work quickly and safely to restore power across our region," they added.

A yellow warning for wind covering parts of the region has also been issued by the Met Office, and remains in place until 15:00 GMT on Wednesday.
Rail services were also suspended after a tree fell on the line between Grimsby and Lincoln.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, a spokesperson for East Midlands Railway said a fallen tree was obstructing the line and a replacement bus service was in place.
In Lincolnshire, the adventure playground at Belton House, near Grantham, was closed as a result of tree damage.
