ALMOST 100 homes in the Weeley area are without electricity after a power cut following this morning's storm.

UK Power Networks say 96 properties have been affected after a high voltage overhead electricity line fault.

The power cut was reported just before 6am today.

Supplies are expected to come back on this afternoon.

A resident said they had been without power since 5am.

"There is a fault in the overhead cables but they can't find out which one," she said.

"It's taking quite a while."
