We've heard from Paul, who lives in Lincoln, who says the power's been out in his area for about an hour this morning.

Looking at the figures from Western Power Distribution, which is responsible for electricity supplies in the area, more than 1,200 people are affected by power cuts at the moment.

The firm's website says there are seven incidents across Lincolnshire, with the largest in Mablethorpe where more than 400 people are affected.

Other places where the power is reported to be down are Ruskington, near Sleaford, where more than 230 homes are affected and south of Lincoln where around 30 homes are off.

Here's some good advice from East Midlands Ambulance Service if the windy weather causes problems where you are this morning:

Cloudy with heavy rain and fog developing on hills, before clearing later.

Winds will strengthen through the night, especially later with possible northwesterly gales or severe gales by the dawn period, especially over exposed areas.

Wakeboarding involves stunts on a length of wood while being pulled by a speedboat but that doesn't worry one little boy from North Lincolnshire who's showing a real talent for the sport.

I've been talking to Dan Hewison from Skegness this afternoon, who's seen his home in the British Virgin Islands completely wrecked by Hurricane Irma.

Mr Hewison, who lives on the island of Virgin Gouda, is currently back in the UK on a visit and has been sent this picture of his house by neighbours.

Mr Hewison ([pictured below with his wife and daughter) works on Necker Island - owned by Virgin boss Richard Branson - which has also been badly damaged by the storm.

A Lincolnshire town has been named as one of the worst places to live if you're a woman.

Research for the BBC rates Boston in the bottom 10.

It's looked at salaries, education, quality of the local environment and life satisfaction.

The study for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour used data from a number of sources, including the Office for National statistics' 2016 Annual Population Survey and the 2011 Census covering England, Wales and Scotland but not Northern Ireland.

Of the 380 local authorities analysed, East Dunbartonshire came out top for women, rating highly on a number of factors, from happiness to access to green spaces - and top-scoring on general living and well-being.

We were telling you earlier about possible traffic disruption on the A158 and A46 as part of the Lincoln Eastern Bypass project - but other work is also going on as these pictures show.

The 107-tonne steel bridge beams arrived at Washingborough Road and were lifted on to site by a 750-tonne crane over the weekend.

The pictures give a good idea of the location south-east of the city centre - you can see the cathedral on the horizon.

Lincolnshire County Council says beams are a crucial piece of the 600-tonne rail bridge deck, which will support the Lincoln to Spalding rail lines over the new bypass route.

These are the faces of a family from Lincolnshire who have been sentenced today for their part in a huge modern slavery case.

Nine of the 11 pictured below have been given sentences totalling almost eight decades behind bars for forcing vulnerable men to work for them for little or no pay.

Nottingham Crown Court heard how the Rooney family - who had an operation centred on a site at Drinsey Nook, near Lincoln - picked up their victims on the streets of Lincoln and Hull.

They offered them food and accommodation, but then they were made to live in squalid caravans and were abused.

Sentencing them, Judge Timothy Spencer QC described them as a lynch mob - and said they lived like medieval royalty while treating their victims like peasants.

The final four sentences in what's been called the largest slavery case in British legal history have now been handed down by a judge at Nottingham Crown Court.

The court heard the gang centred their operation on a traveller site at Drinsey Nook, near Lincoln (pictured below).

They preyed on vulnerable people they found in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Five members of the gang lived on that site and were sentenced this morning.

The four given prison sentences this afternoon lived separately.

Peter Doran, 36, of Washingborough Road, Lincoln, who was jailed for six years, for his part in the operation.

Gerry Rooney, 46, of Washingborough Road, was also jailed for six years.

John Rooney, 53, of Chantry Croft, Pontefract, was given five years and 10 months and Lawrence Rooney, 47, who's currently serving a five year prison sentence will serve another six years after that sentence is complete.

Two other men, Martin Rooney, 35, of Sainfoin Farm, Beaconsfield, and Patrick Rooney 54, of the same address have been given suspended sentences.

The modern slavery case at Nottingham Crown Court involving a family who exploited vulnerable people from Hull and Lincolnshire attracted a lot of media interest.
