Flood warnings as Storm Ingrid hits Devon and Cornwall

Multiple flood warnings are in place in Devon and Cornwall as Storm Ingrid brings heavy rain and strong winds.

A Met Office yellow warning for rain is in force until 22:00 GMT and forecasters are warning of flooding and transport disruption. The Environment Agency said flood warnings were in place across the south Devon and south Cornwall coasts.

Great Western Railway said the line between Exeter St Davids and Plymouth would remain shut until at least 14:00 because a “significant amount of debris” was on the track at Dawlish due to waves breaching the sea wall.

Trees have come down on roads, with one blocking both lanes of the A377 near Lapford, Devon County Council said.
