Damage and disruption in storm-battered counties

Storm damage is still causing major disruption across Devon and Cornwall, with flooded roads and railways and fallen trees.

Trains are also cancelled between Liskeard and Looe and Par and Newquay because of flooding, with disruption expected until the end of Sunday.

Devon County Council said about 50 teams were dealing with a backlog of nearly 2,900 pothole repairs.

Cornwall's fire service is also warning drivers to expect more heavy rain and to take extra care because standing and fast-moving water is making routes dangerous.

The warning comes after the South West was battered by Storm Ingrid last Saturday and Storm Chandra on Monday and Tuesday, with both causing widespread flooding and damage.

On Friday, the UK Met Office said it had been the second wettest January for Cornwall since 1836, and the ninth wettest for Devon.
