There was structural damage on Anglesey

In south Wales, a prefabricated bungalow lost its roof in Newport with debris crashing through the window of a neighbouring property.

The mid Wales town of Welshpool was said to be virtually cut off by flood water and fallen trees, and driving conditions across the nation were said to be dangerous.

At 1200 GMT on Tuesday there were 16 flood warnings and 21 flood watches across Wales.

Swansea coastguards said that winds of 85mph had been recorded overnight.

Roof damage

Residents of Ringland, Newport, have been clearing up after the roof blew off a prefabricated bungalow.

Dorothy Fraser said she was woken up by the noise and was then urged by neighbours to find safety.

"I heard a banging, but I thought it was the alarms on my windows going off."

Part of Mrs Fraser's roof crashed in through the bedroom window of a neighbouring property, but no-one was hurt.

A family business near Llangollen, north Wales, was forced to halt work after the roof blew off its factory.

Rolant Davies, of Theo Davies and Sons, says their woodworking machinery was badly damaged by rain after the roof blew off the former woollen mill they occupy in Glynceiriog.

In Landfill near Crowe, north Wales, a horse escaped with a cut nose after being trapped in a stable when the roof collapsed in gales shortly before 0600 GMT.

Roads flooded

Dyfed Powys Police said the mid Wales town of Welshpool had been practically cut off by floods and fallen trees.

A spokesman said: "Some of the main roads in the area have been closed because of flood water and trees down.

Many parts of Wales were flooded again

"We are urging drivers to exert extreme caution on the roads today."

Also in mid Wales, Cambrian line services were subject to severe disruption because of flooding which closed the line between Newtown and Machynlleth.

In south Wales, the second Severn Crossing was closed westbound for several hours overnight after an articulated lorry was blown over.

The old Severn Bridge remained closed on Tuesday, and several roads in the Chepstow and Monmouth areas were blocked by fallen trees.

Transport disruption

Ferry services were also being affected by the weather.

Irish Ferries' Tuesday 1515 GMT Holyhead to Dublin sailing was cancelled because of adverse conditions in the Irish Sea with the sailing at 2045 GMT also in doubt.

The 1215 GMT Dublin Swift service was also cancelled with the 1800 GMT also in doubt.

Power supplies across Wales were also disrupted, with 8,000 properties in south east Wales being left without electricity from about 0300 GMT on Tuesday.

Western Power said electricity had been restored to 5,000 homes in the Usk, Monmouth and Blaenavon areas by 0700 GMT.

Manweb, which serves north and mid Wales, said around 500 customers in Gwynedd and Anglesey were left without electricity.

But the company was confident of restoring supplies as engineers worked to repair the faults.
