Travel has been disrupted in East Devon as a result heavy rain and gusty winds.

As forecast, Storm Dennis swept across the country, bringing with it high winds and very wet conditions.

Many roads were affected by surface water flooding, with water flowing off the fields, many of which were already very wet as a result of Storm Ciara last weekend.

Some roads became impassable as they were submerged by the floodwater.
