Storm Francis: Storms cause power cuts and floods

Thousands of homes are without power, properties have been damaged and fallen trees have blocked roads and railways as Storm Francis hits Wales.

Scottish Power said 3,000 of its customers in mid and north Wales had been left without power due to high winds.

Western Power Distribution said its teams were attending dozens of incidents across south and west Wales.

Earlier on Tuesday, nine people were rescued after a campsite flooded in Carmarthenshire.

There is an amber weather warning for wind for most of Wales from 14:00 BST until 22:00 on Tuesday.
