Schools closed and thousands without power as Storm Corrie batters UK

The Metro says parts of the UK woke up to school closures and power cuts as back-to-back storms caused havoc.

Storm Corrie battered the north of England and Scotland overnight into Monday morning with gusts of more than 90mph recorded.

Communities in the storm’s path were already struggling to recover after Storm Malik hit on Saturday, leaving two dead and thousands without power.

A Met Office weather warning for wind was in place for much of the east coast of England until 10am on Monday.
