You’ve been sending us your photos of storm damage following the gale force winds and heavy rain across the county last night.
Live updates of the ongoing weather-related issues can be found on our blog here.
The strength of the wind, which is reported to reached 113mph gusts in Illogan this morning, has been relocating trampolines, closing businesses and bringing down a huge number of trees – including this one in Falmouth.
Falmouth Garden Centre sent us this photo of a large tree branch causing a serious obstruction in Swanpool Road, Falmouth, just up from the garden centre.
They said: "There is a large branch dangling into the middle of Swanpool Road in Falmouth obstructing both sides of traffic/pedestrians.
"Drivers are going to the right hand side of the branch which is not a good idea!"
The branch has now been cleared.
This incredible shot by Stephanie Richards, from Manaccan, shows a large tree uprooted at Trezemper Woods.

A familiar sight across Cornwall this morning as people woke up to find garden fences blown down and dustbins rolling across the street. This photo was sent in by Dawn Hardy from St Keverne.
Parts of the car park at Sainsbury's supermarket in Helston were closed off this morning due to a collapsed trolley bay, as shown in this photo from Clare Pascoe.
Emergency services closed off the road between the Redannack Estate and the Old Inn pub at Mullion this morning, due to sparking electrical cable outside fire station and turn-off to La Flounder Fields falling onto the road. They are captured here by Declan Jane.
There was also a large amount of debris on the road, fallen branches and flooding.
Packet reader Ruth Avery took these photos in Porthleven at 7am this morning, showing a very choppy inner harbour and some heavy breaking waves over the pier.
This looks to be the end of Simon Willey's trampoline at Trewennack, after it was flipped by the strength of the wind last night. The wind also took out his rotary washing line.
