Northern Powergrid

An onlooker shouts 'Oh my God' as the pole repeatedly explodes like a firework near a house.

Power lines were brought down in strong winds during Storm Isha. Northumberland is the worst affected area with more than 600 homes cut off from electricity.

Videos capturing an explosion-like flash of white and orange were posted online following the power line fall in the Newton Aycliffe area on Monday.
