Storm Darragh: The clean-up continues across Wales
The past few days has been the worst for council call-outs in Cardiff for 20 years
Communities across Wales continue to pick up the pieces this morning - after days of strong winds and heavy rain battered much of the country.
A 'danger to life' warning was issued by the Met Office whilst one of our police forces issued a major incident.
Dyfed-Powys Police said it had experienced high volumes of calls about fallen trees and poor driving conditions in the wake of Storm Darragh.
Even though we're over the worst of the weather - the disruption continues, with Transport for Wales urging many passengers not to travel on their services as the weekend comes to a close.
It's not just travel which has been impacted, as much of life across Wales has in some way been hit after the dangerous weather conditions.
That includes sport, with the Swansea.com Stadium suffering structural damage on Saturday.
In Cardiff, council crews battled through the elements to tackle the highest number of incidents during a single storm for more than two decades.
Yesterday, the local authority said: "Cardiff Council crews battled against the elements to respond to more than 130 reports of fallen trees and debris as Storm Darragh swept into the capital today.
"Prioritising cases based on risk to life or public safety, it has been the highest number of incidents dealt with by the council during a single storm event for more than 20 years.
"As extremely high winds hit the city in the early hours, crews were on site within 20 minutes to the first report of the day at 2.30am and continued to work tirelessly across the city to unblock highways and clean up the mess left in the wake of the storm.
"In dreadful conditions, teams prioritised clearing roads affected by fallen trees as much as possible during daylight hours. Heol Goch in Pentyrch, closed from early this morning, will remain closed overnight while the slip road off Leckwith roundabout to join the A4232 towards Culverhouse Cross has been closed this evening due to a fallen tree.
"Crews will return tomorrow to continue with clear up work across the city. Please bear with us as we manage our way through the damage caused by Storm Darragh."
Hundreds of homes remain without power - and a number of flood warnings and alerts remain in place as crews from our councils and essential services continue to work to repair the damage.
'We wish to thank the emergency services'
A joint statement from Eluned Morgan and Huw Irranca-Davies said: "On behalf of everyone, we wish to thank the emergency services and first responders who have been out through the night in dreadful conditions to keep people safe.
"Our thanks also to people throughout Wales who heeded the very serious red warning and emergency alert that was issued.
"Your actions truly helped the emergency response, and we are grateful.
"Work is ongoing to restore power to homes and reopen parts of the transport network, and our thoughts are with people who have suffered damage to their property and possessions from the storm.
"Many warnings and alerts remain in place, in particular around rivers, and people should be vigilant as the effects of Storm Darragh may be felt for some days yet."
The Government's "risk to life" alert came into effect at 1am on Saturday and was sent to people within the area covered by the Met Office's rare red warning for wind in parts of Wales and south-west England.
Energy Networks Association said 259,000 customers across England, Scotland and Wales were without power as of Saturday evening.
It said that 80% of homes affected by the storm have been reconnected.
The Environment Agency had 64 flood warnings in place in England on Sunday morning, meaning flooding is expected, while Natural Resources Wales said 25 flood warnings were active.
