A homeowner from the Lincoln area is counting the cost of storm Jocelyn after a tree came down hitting three houses and a car, taking a powerline with it.
It happened last night on School Lane, North Hykeham as strong winds hit the region.
No one was hurt, and now a clean up operation is underway.
This homeowner spoke to us about what happened:
"I looked and saw that a big tree had gone, but I didn't know where it had gone. but I just panicked because my son lives next door.
"I'd come out and it had hit the neighbours (house), the pole which was there was right next to the driveway - but it was just wires and everything"
The tree hit this man's house, Dan tells what he heard:
"About 10pm last night we heard this almighty crash - we looked outside and saw the big giant tree coming through the window.
"The car looks like a write off as far as I can see - and then mainly the roofing guttering, and front wall are affected".
Elsewhere there's been debris on some roads in the region whilst a fallen tree has impacted rail services between Lincoln and Haborough.
Currently the yellow warning for wind across Lincolnshire and Newark has been stood down.
