Weather: Problems continue as power restored to homes
Baku, April 30(AZERTAC). Thousands of homes have had power restored after storm damage, but bad weather continues to cause problems across Wales.
Western Power said 20,000 customers lost power on Sunday, with Swansea and east Wales worst affected.
Power was restored to the last 1,200 homes on Monday morning.
Some roads are blocked by trees and two trains from London to Cardiff were cancelled, with others facing delays, and eight flood alerts remain in force.
Houses in Swansea, Cardiff and east Wales lost power on the weekend after the area was hit by strong winds with speeds of up to 60mph.
Between 40mm and 60mm of rain was forecast overnight into Monday for east Wales, prompting the Met Office to issue a "be prepared" warning for the whole of the country, with a risk of localized flooding and winds exceeding 50-60mph.
People living in some homes in the Cynon Valley were evacuated for a short time while trees were made safe.
