Storm Noa: Power cuts and trees down in Devon and Cornwall

Hundreds of properties have been left without power and trees have blocked roads as Storm Noa sweeps across Devon and Cornwall.

Gusts of more than 60mph (96.5km/h) have been recorded on the Isles of Scilly and the Met Office has predicted wind speeds of up to 70mph (113km/h).

A woman was injured when her car hit a tree that had fallen on the A377 near Copplestone, Devon, police said.

Elsewhere, a tree has fallen on a house in Raleigh Avenue, Cockington, Torquay.

Police confirmed the fire service, highways and a tree management team were in attendance, and everyone in the house was accounted for.

It said the road would remain closed for the rest of the day and into Thursday until the tree was cleared.

The tree was cleared with the help of a local farmer and emergency services.

At 14:00 BST, the National Grid said 268 properties in Devon were without power.

More than 700 homes were also reportedly without power in the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall.

It confirmed most properties in St Austell had its power restored, and was working to restore all homes by 21:30 BST.

It also said it aimed to restore all power to homes in Crediton by the same time.

Network Rail said speed restrictions were in place on the main line between Plymouth and Penzance.

National Highways has urged drivers on the M5, A38 and A30 to take extra care.

Buses have been diverted in Torquay due to a fallen tree in Hawkins Avenue, Stagecoach South West said.

According to the Met Office, there have been gusts of up to 64mph (103km/h) on the Isles of Scilly.

The National Trust has closed some of its sites on Dartmoor.

In a yellow warning, valid until 20:00 BST, the Met Office predicted strong winds with severe coastal gales in the South and West.

It said the strong winds, low temperatures and heavy rain or showers were down to an Atlantic low-pressure system slowly moving eastwards across the UK.

Some campers evacuated campsites as winds tore down tents.

Steve Ackland, of Monkey Tree Holiday Park near Newquay, said: "We had some fantastic weather last weekend and this is the flip side of that.

"It is what you expect in Cornwall in April and the fact that there are still so many people around is testament that it's a great place to be."

Others like holidaymaker Katrina Kay were sticking it out.

"If you go camping you know what you're letting yourself in for, it's not been bad really," she said.
