There are a large number of properties without power this morning, as Storm Jocelyn knocks down power lines and trees in Herefordshire.
Gusts of wind have reached more than 65mph in parts of Herefordshire overnight, with Storm Jocelyn packing more of a punch in the county than Storm Isha did the other night.
There are a number of trees down on routes across the county, with disruption inevitable as we head into the morning rush hour.
