Hello,

This morning we had a power failure at home due to storm which took place this night !
Is this first sentence correct?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Hello,

It's perfect apart from the use of 'this'. 'This night' is either the current night or shortly before the next one.
Since it's now morning then the power failure was 'last night'.

Hello,

I'd say:
This morning we had a power failure at home due to a storm that hit us last night !
