Summary of the day

However, despite all managing to reopen, the backlog meant flights were still delayed. Power outages - The National Grid said it was working to restore electricity to homes throughout Saturday night. During Sunday, more houses were reported to lose power. At the time of writing there are still hundreds of homes waiting.
