Police this morning issued a statement discouraging any driving until 9am-10am this morning when driving conditions are expected to improve.

Police have received more than 80 reports of wind damage. The worst-hit areas are Leirvík, Gøta and Klaksvík.

More wind is expected later today, and SEV cannot rule out further power cuts.
