Storm Boelo brings flooding and Leeds Bradford Airport disruption

On Saturday, also in Scarborough, a tree fell on a bungalow. No injuries were reported. In Hawes, a person was walked to safety by firefighters after becoming trapped in their vehicle after attempting to drive through floodwater.

On Sunday, the A169 between Malton and Pickering was closed due to a fallen tree blocking the road, while in Stokesley, on the edge of the North York Moors, a tree crashed onto an unoccupied car.

Attractions were also affected by the weather, including Fountains Abbey, the UK’s largest monastic ruin, near Ripon, which was closed on Sunday.

The storm resulted in 36 flights to and from Leeds Bradford being cancelled on Sunday.

Bosses told those still due to fly to check the website being turning up.

“We’d like to thank all customers for their patience and understanding while our teams work through these challenging conditions,” an LBA spokesperson said.

In Huddersfield, a tree fell on a car at about midday on Sunday.

Photographer Jim Mitcham told the BBC that “everyone was shaken but unhurt”.

In a statement, Kirklees Council said staff were working to clear the roads and did not rule out the possibility of temporarily closing roads while issues remain.

At 17:00 GMT, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said it was dealing with reports of a loose panel at Sharman Court student halls in Sheffield.

Northern Powergrid said about 93,000 customers had been affected by outages.

“We have restored supplies to almost 51,000 customers by reconfiguring our network, leaving around 42,000 customers currently without power,” said a spokesperson.

Some customers would remain without power into the night, they warned.
