Storm Eleanor has battered Cumbria overnight.

The threat of flooding, mainly in coastal areas, still remains as many flood alerts are currently in place for today throughout the county.

They are for:

  • Coast at Barrow in Furness
  • Coast at Duddon Estuary
  • Coast at North Morecambe Bay
  • Coast from Gretna to Silloth
  • Coast from Heysham to Cockerham
  • Coast from Silloth to St Bees
  • Coast from St Bees Head to Millom
  • Lune Estuary
  • Rivers Duddon, Crake and Mill Beck
  • South Morecambe Bay area
  • Upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwent Water

A yellow warning for wind issued by the Met Office remains in place until 6pm tonight for Cumbria, the rest of England, Wales and the southern part of Scotland.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Public transport may be disrupted or canceled and some bridges are likely to be closed.

"Power cuts and disruption to other services (mobile phones for example) may also occur, while injuries from flying debris are possible.

"Combined with a period of high tides, it is likely that some western coastal communities will be affected by large waves and spray, and again there is a chance that injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves, or beach material being thrown on to seafronts and coastal properties."
