Eden reeling from Storm Isha

Flood waters at Eden Bridge between Lazonby and Kirkoswald on Monday morning.

Eden is reeling this morning in the aftermath of Storm Isha, which ripped across the UK leaving devastation in its wake.

The last 24 hours have seen widespread power cuts, with more than 2,000 properties in areas including Penrith, Ravenstonedale, Matterdale, Skelton, Morland, Appleby, Hunsonby, Langwathby, Ainstable, Kirkby Thore, Brougham, Kirkby Stephen, Sebergham, Plumpton and Barton affected.

Electricity North West says that the estimated time power will be restored to some of these properties is 5pm tomorrow, Tuesday.

Today, the M6 southbound was closed between junctions 38 and 39, Shap and Tebay, following two lorries overturning on Sunday night. Wind speeds of 80mph were recorded in places including Shap.

The A66 between Cumbria and Country Durham was closed in both directions, with several lorries overturning overnight and wind speeds reaching 75mph along the route.

Across the district, waterways overflowed, with snow melt said to be adding to the problem.

At Appleby, the town’s siren sounded at 9pm on Sunday and later the River Eden burst its banks and came up over The Sands. Water levels peaked at around 4.1m between 1.30am and 2.15am.

Flood warnings were also in place for: the River Eden at Bolton; River Eden at Edenhall and River Greta at Keswick.

High winds brought down tree branches and householders were left to clear debris from their properties.

A number of schools are closed today, including Crosby Ravensworth; Ivegill; Appleby Primary; Long Marton; Milburn; and Warcop.

This morning winds have abated and some blue sky is even in evidence, with better weather forecast for the remainder of the week.
