Trees have been brought down in the high winds, including this one just outside of Miles Tea Room on Taunton High Street

Around 400 homes are without power in the West of England as Storm Isha brought disruption to electricity networks.

A number of trees have been brought down across roads after gusts reached 90mph in some places in the country.

The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning across the UK, forecasting possible injuries and danger to life from flying debris.

More disruption is expected across the West's trains and planes on Monday.

Network Rail imposed 50mph speed restrictions across most routes to keep passengers and trains safe from falling trees and debris blown onto tracks.

National Grid said nearly 300 homes in the Stroud district are without power, including 267 by Nailsworth. It added that the homes should have electricity again by 12:00 GMT.

Western Power said around 100 homes are without power in Somerset, including 81 in Pensford and 23 in the Thornfalcon and Creech St Michael area.

It is expected the homes with power outages, also in areas including Radstock and Peasedown St John, should be resolved by 09:00 GMT.
