High winds cause disruption across the country

Ferocious winds have been battering the region, with gales in excess of 90 miles an hour in parts of South Yorkshire. Homes have been left without power and there has been disruption to road and air travel. Tina Gelder reports.

Helen Nash from Harrogate had a surprise this morning Saturday January 10, 2015, when she woke up and found a trampoline in her garden.

High winds overnight had picked up it and dropped it onto her lawn from next door.

Leeds Bradford Airport has been unable to escape the consequences of the weather - this dramatic footage was taken by Steven Boocock yesterday (Friday January 9, 2015) as the wind gathered momentum the plane was forced to land sideways.

Today several flights in and out of the airport have been cancelled and some diverted to other airports.

Passengers are being advised to check the airport website before travelling
