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.

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.

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.
