Thousands of homes in Kent are still without power two days after Storm Eunice hit.

UK Power Networks confirmed 11,500 homes in the county had no power as of this morning but at 8pm this had fallen to 6,000 households.

Smashed cars, fallen trees and even a toppled power station tower were among Storm Eunice's casualties on Friday.

The county saw wind speeds reaching 90mph and waves crashing over sea walls.

The county-wide repair bill is set to reach into the millions following the damage dealt by the dangerous storm.

More than 23,000 people were left without electricity yesterday.

UK Power Networks issued an update saying it expected the "vast majority" of homes to be reconnected by the end of the day, adding: "Within 24 hours of Storm Eunice clearing the South East and East of England on Friday, our engineers had restored electricity to 95% of the 679,700 properties affected.

"We appreciate that some customers have been without power for longer than we would usually expect, due to the extensive damage caused to overhead power lines by 80mph winds."

A Met Office yellow weather warning for high winds remains in place for later today and tomorrow.

Yesterday, Kent County Council Highways warned the weekend would see road clear ups taking place to remove fallen trees and debris. A and B roads are first in line for help, with other routes coming later.

Southeastern says there are range of changes to the timetables, and passengers are advised to research before travelling.

The Hastings to Tunbridge Wells line is expected to be shut all day due to a power failure.

Meanwhile, Hastings to Ashford line is expected to reopen at some point today and engineers need to remove a tree on the Faversham to Dover line.

This morning fallen trees have put alerts in place for School Lane, in Bapchild, Spelmonden Road in Horsmonden, Whitepost Lane in Culverstone and Five Vents Lane in Old Romney.

Trees have also come down in Martin's Lane in East Peckham and Smiths Hill in West Farleigh.

The disruption comes after a red alert was in place for the south-east on Friday, for the first time since the warning system was introduced 11 years ago.

It meant there was a danger to life.

Thankfully, there were no reported fatalities in the county as a result of the storm.

Toby Howe, senior highway manager at KCC, said: “We are over the worst, but warnings remain in force and it will continue to be blustery.

"Given there has been some structural and tree damage and things like chimneys and hoardings may be a bit weakened a little bit more wind on Saturday could continue to give us problems so people should stay vigilant.

“There have been major impacts on the roads, at ports and in communities over the past day.

“Kent Police received five times the number of 999 calls on Friday they usually receive in one day.

“Now our attention turns to clean up and getting Kent back up and running as it has been hard for crews to get out and about safely in Friday’s very high winds.”

Kent Fire and Rescue Service had dealt with more than 90 incidents by mid-afternoon yesterday, while dozens of power cuts blighted homes.

Train, ferry and bus services were axed and there were widespread problems on Kent's road network, with the M20, A2, Dartford Crossing and Sheppey Crossing among those to face closures.

In a day of drama for Kent the middle chimney of the power station on the Isle Of Grain collapsed in the early afternoon. The site has since been taken offline, and bosses at the station say "there is no risk to the local community".

Almost all of the county's top attractions - ranging from the Designer Outlet, to wild animal parks and castles - remained shut to the public throughout Friday.

County Square shopping centre in Ashford had to close on Friday following damage to its roof. However, shoppers could access half of shops yesterday as part of it did open. The centre confirmed in a tweet yesterday, it's High Street entrance had re-opened.

Masonry came crashing down from the fourth storey of a block of flats in Ashford.

Clive Bellinger was sat in his kitchen when police evacuated the block. "The police came around and evacuated the entire building, getting us down the stairs as quickly as possible," he said.

"Less than a minute or two later, a whole chunk just came off and flattened a car."
