While not seemingly as devastating as Storm Arwen in November, Saturday’s Storm Malik was still powerful enough to dislodge trees and masonry.
Further afield, lorries were also blown over or lost control on the A1(M).
Fingers are crossed that Storm Corrie, which is due to hit the North East on Sunday afternoon, will not be so eventful.
