 THOUSANDS OF HOMES HIT BY POWER CUTS   
 Storms with winds of more than 100mph  
 have left more than 4,000 homes in the 
 north of Scotland without electricity  
 after blowing down power lines.        
                                        
 Scottish Hydro Electric said 11,700    
 homes in Shetland, Orkney, the Western 
 Isles and Highlands had been affected. 
                                        
 But the company expected most homes to 
 bj reconnected shortly afterwards.     
                                        
 Winds of up to 140mph were recorded in 
 the Shetlands which, with the Orkneys, 
 have had all ferry sailings cancelled.
