Parts of Cornwall were battered last night by high winds and rain and many people were left without power for most of the night. And the wild weather wasn't just confined to Cornwall, there was snow on Dartmoor as well.
More than 100 homes are without power this morning in parts of Devon and Cornwall, after winds gusting upto 70 miles an hour brought down power cables. Overnight several thousand people were affected, but engineers say most homes should be reconnected later this morning.
Strong winds in Cornwall have left around 500 homes without power after cables were blown down by winds of up to 70mph.
The main areas affected are Penzance, Mousehole, Newlyn and St Buryan.
A spokesman for Western Power says they were prepared for the bad weather and brought in extra engineers to cope. They have multiple teams out dealing with around eighty separate incidents and say they will continue working until they get everyone back on.
At one point electricity supplies to the Isles of Scilly were cut but they are back on after their standby kicked in.
The weather front has now moved on but the company is now getting reports of lightning in the area, which could cause further problems.
More than two thousand teenagers have crossed the finish line of the annual Ten Tors Challenge. The teams of six have been hiking across Dartmoor since early yesterday morning, and camped on the moor overnight.
The event organisers say the rain and fog have made this year's conditions particularly tough.
