Flood warnings with more heavy rain expected
A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is in force across Devon and Cornwall. The Met Office said the warning, in place until 10:00 GMT, meant thunderstorms were possible and there could be flooding on the roads. Storm Herminia - named by the Spanish weather service - lashed the South West with strong winds and heavy rain at the weekend and on Monday, bringing flooding on roads and power cuts for thousands of properties. The Environment Agency said there were five flood warnings in Devon, meaning flooding is expected. Flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, are in place for both counties. Devon County Council said its Network Operations Control Centre received 350 calls at the weekend - with 95% of those related to either flooding or fallen trees. The authority urged motorists to drive with care with temperatures also predicted to drop. Councillor Stuart Hughes said: "I'm pleased to say that most of the main road network is moving as normal and I want to thank our dedicated teams and contractors who have had another busy weekend. "However a wind warning is still in place and temperatures are predicted to drop from Tuesday evening." In Cornwall, people in the village of Trenarren were cut off after a large tree fell across the main road. There are about 18 houses in Trenarren - but the access road is completely blocked. Residents were relying on people with vehicles from the other side of the tree and those from nearby communities for supplies. George Taylor, from the village, said everyone was rallying around. "It's a lovely hamlet and everyone gets on with everyone, and everybody helps everybody," he said. Follow BBC Cornwall on X, Facebook and Instagram. Follow BBC Devon on X, Facebook and Instagram.

Ice warning for drivers ahead of cold front
More than 330 calls were taken over the weekend reporting flooded highways or fallen trees, Devon County Council has said. It said 14 response teams and 19 tree surgeon gangs had been on standby to deal with issues across the county. The authority is urging motorists to continue to drive with care as a cold front is expected to arrive in the region from Tuesday evening. Councillor Stuart Hughes said water on the roads from the weekend "could affect the road surface and lead to icy conditions". "I'm pleased to say that most of the main road network is moving as normal and I want to thank our dedicated teams and contractors who have had another busy weekend," he said. "However a wind warning is still in place and temperatures are predicted to drop from Tuesday evening." Many roads across Devon were flooded as river levels rose and drainage systems were overwhelmed, the council said. It said the majority of the main road network was now open but warned on Monday morning the B3193 Chudleigh Knighton was flooded and impassable. There was also a landslip on the A381at Littlehempston. Devon County Council issued the following advice for drivers in bad weather: Never assume a road has been salted. Remember that showers or rain will wash salt off roads leaving them prone to ice, and in extreme cold even salting will not stop ice from forming. Allow additional time for your journey. Reduce your speed and leave more space between you and the vehicle in front. Drive with care and according to the conditions. Listen to local radio for updates on current weather conditions.
