At the height of the storm, 300,000 households in the region had no power. UK Power Networks said up to 8,000 properties were without power in Suffolk, 6,800 in Essex and 200 in Hertfordshire, as of 07:00 GMT.

It said Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire were "back to normal" on Tuesday. Most rail services resumed on Wednesday after two days of delays and cancellations.
