Storm Noa: Lightning strike on house as storm passes

Fire crews were called to reports of a house hit by lightning as Storm Noa brought winds of more than 60mph (96.5km/h) to Devon and Cornwall.

The electrics at the house in West Alvington, Devon, were damaged, the fire service said after being called at 12:20 BST on Wednesday.

Coastal areas were worst hit by the storm which led to hundreds of properties being left without power.

And huge waves were filmed piling into the coast off Cape Cornwall.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said no-one was injured in the lightning strike and there was no fire.

Raleigh Avenue in Torquay remains closed after a tree fell on to a house.

Police said everyone was accounted for after the tree fell on Wednesday.

Devon County Council warned roads users to be alert, saying: "There may still be a large amount of tree and other windblown debris on the roads, pavements and cycleways."

Thursday's weather forecast in the region is breezy with showers.
