THE strong winds caused damage to buildings, felled trees and caused region-wide travel disruption.
As published on www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk throughout the day, reports continually came into the Grimsby Telegraph newsroom of weather-related incidents, including:
A fallen tree on Brighowgate blocking Manor Avenue.
A fallen tree on Clee Crescent.
A fallen tree blocking the A18 at Grainsby.
A fallen tree outside Welholme Galleries, Grimsby.
A 6ft wall fell down in Pasture Street, Grimsby.
There were no reports of injuries.
On the roads, people were experiencing longer journeys than usual and the Humber Bridge closed for some time to all traffic, later reopening to all but high-sided vehicles and caravans.
At Humberside Airport, a flight from Aberdeen was delayed by an hour, and a teatime flight from Amsterdam was cancelled.
Stagecoach confirmed it had experienced delays to the Humber Flyer and Humber FastCar bus services, which run from Grimsby and Scunthorpe into Hull.
But Dave Skepper, commercial director, added: "Other than that we have been operating normally, although with caution on stretches of roads affected by cross winds."
