Centres open for victims of storm
<!-- S BO --> <!-- S IIMA --> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="220"> <tbody><tr><td>More than 200 repair staff have been brought in to help restore power supplies
</td></tr> </tbody></table> <!-- E IIMA --> <!-- S SF -->A number of emergency relief centres have been opened across Northern Ireland, to help people who have had no electricity for days.
The Red Cross and other voluntary groups are helping statutory bodies with the operation.
It is estimated that about 10,000 homes are still without power following the severe weather.
NIE has said more than 100,000 customers have now had their power restored after Tuesday's ice storms.
<!-- E SF -->The emergency centres are at: Millennium Centre, Loughgiel; Joey Dunlop Centre, Ballymoney; Martinstown Parochial Hall; Loughry College, near Cookstown; the An Creagain Centre in Omagh and Dungiven Community Centre.
NIE says the centres would give help and support to the people who've been worst affected.
Rescue
On Thursday, the police helicopter has had to help rescue a snowbound family from their County Tyrone home.
The family had been trapped in their Plumbridge home following heavy snow earlier this week, which has left thousands without electricity.
On Thursday, they called police after they realised their food and gas supplies would not last.
Sergeant Stephen Creighton of the PSNI Search and Rescue unit said the snow was eight-feet deep in places.
"Once the situation was reviewed I contacted North West Mountain Rescue who sent out three Land Rovers to try and reach the family," he said.
"Unfortunately the heavy snowfall made any attempts by the volunteers to get close to the house impossible. Our main concern was the young children in the house who would not have been able to make it through the snow which was eight feet deep in places.

More than 200 extra repair staff have been brought in from the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain to help NIE restore power supplies to homes.
The company said most homes would have power by Friday, but that some customers in Cloughmills could be without power into the Easter weekend.
'Distressed'
Sinn Fein assembly member Daithi McKay said many people in rural parts of north Antrim had lost both power and water.
Among those affected was a woman with cancer who was arranging to stay with relatives.
"There's a lot of them who are very distressed. A lot are in very fragile conditions anyway," he said.
"A lot of elderly people are going to be without heat tonight."
Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister said those people who have lost power should be compensated.
"The extent to which parts of north Antrim suffered in the recent snow and ice storms was quite horrendous," he said.

I did loads of hard work today. 500Km to be exact. All in the name of the Photo Rally.
That Penal Cross is some place. Road blocked by snow so had to settle for a long range shot.
