Beach huts washed into sea as storm sweeps in

High winds and big waves have damaged a sea wall and swept beach huts into the sea.

A yellow warning for wind across the South West, from the storm named Pierrick by Meteofrance, has been extended by the Met Office and continues until 06:00 BST on Tuesday.

The Met Office has predicted general gusts of 45-55mph (72-89km/h), rising to 60-65mph (97-105km/h) on exposed coasts.

It said there was a possibility of some gusts in Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and south Devon reaching 75mph (121km/h).

Porthleven sea wall was damaged with debris strewn across Harbour Road, and in Falmouth at least two beach huts were swept into the sea.

Falmouth Coastguard warned there would be a combination of strong winds, spring tides and storm surges.

The Environment Agency (EA) said there were 12 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, in Devon and Cornwall.

Areas around Bude on the north coast and St Michael's Mount on the south coast were among those places at risk, the EA said.

The Met Office advised the public there was a chance of injury from large waves and beach material being thrown on to sea fronts, coastal roads and seaside properties.

It said there was a chance of power cuts and possible travel delays on the roads, railways and ferries, as well as at airports.
