A severe weather warning has been issued for Northern Ireland, as the UK braces itself for further storms.
Approximately 1,000 homes across Northern Ireland are without electricity after storm force winds.
Gales of up to 80mph were forecast across Northern Ireland, with the strongest winds expected by midnight.
Northern Ireland Electricity has said most of the homes affected are in counties Tyrone, Fermanagh and Antrim.
Northern Ireland Electricity warned of possible damage to the network, particularly in exposed areas.
Julia Carson from NIE said the weather was not as bad as they had feared. "The weather warning didn't reach the levels predicted," she said.
The weather is also affecting some sailings. The Met Office is predicting rain, sleet and hill snow and warned the high winds could wreak havoc.
"The network held up very well, it is very robust and again these are very exposed rural and coastal locations."
BBC weather forecaster Chris Fawkes said: "The wind will start to pick up about midnight in Northern Ireland and then strong winds will spread to the rest of northern England and Wales, and will pick up elsewhere too."
The Foyle Bridge, which was closed for a time because of the high winds, reopened at midnight. A 30mph speed restriction is in place.
John Wylie from the Met Office at Aldergrove said: "It's later on tonight, around midnight and through the early hours of Wednesday morning, when I I think a core of stronger winds could come across.
Meanwhile, the Glenmachen Road in east Belfast has been closed because of a fallen tree.
Roads Service said a total of five fallen trees had been reported overnight.
"I am thinking particularly across the southern half of Northern Ireland, so counties Fermanagh, perhaps south Tyrone, Armagh and Down could be looking at gusts of anywhere between 65mph and 75mph, maybe even locally 80mph along the most exposed sections of the coastline.
Gales of up to 60mph are also affecting some sailings. Stena Line said HSS sailings at 0735 GMT and 1220 GMT had been cancelled.
"That is certainly high enough to be bringing some trees down and causing some damage to roof tiles."
All P&O crossings between Larne and Cairnryan and Dublin to Liverpool are on schedule, but may be disrupted.
Meanwhile, Stena Line's Tuesday sailings from Belfast to Stranraer have been cancelled. However, the next HSS at 5.20 will operate as normal.
All P&O sailings between Larne and Cairnryan and Dublin to Liverpool are operating to schedule but the company said these services may be subject to disruption.
There has been flooding and damage to property in England and Wales following similar weather conditions.
