Over 100 customers have left without power as 60mph gusts battered Northern Ireland this evening.
It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind across all six counties on Friday.
The warning was in place between 12pm today until 7pm.
The forecaster said the strong winds could bring potential disruption for transport and travel.
Northern Ireland Electricity’s (NIE) power cut checker lists at least 130 customers without access to electricity.
The cuts are primarily centred in the east and south of the region but a number of power lines have also failed in the north west.
The electricity provider has been contacted for comment.

A spokesman for the Met Office had previously advised some residents may face outages prior to their warning.
They added that coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities would be affected by spray and/or large waves.
The forecaster said: “A spell of strong southeasterly winds will push from southwest to northeast across Northern Ireland through the afternoon, clearing the north coast this evening.
“Winds will widely gust 45-55 mph, with gusts to 60 mph possible for exposed coasts of counties Down and Antrim, as well as over and to the lee of high ground elsewhere.
“As well as strong winds, a period of persistent rain will also affect all areas for a time, making for difficult travelling conditions.”
