But it is not all doom and gloom for locals, as Friday is expected to be dry with sunny spells.

Storm Isha struck East Devon overnight and has caused widespread across the region on Monday morning.

The road at Marine Drive in Exmouth, which leads to the RNLI station, was closed after debris and sand was blown on to it from the beach.

South Western Railway has already cancelled trains between Honiton and Axminster to Exeter St David's and Yeovil Junction due to a signalling failure at Crewkerne.

Local authorities took some necessary measures, such as closing the floodgates at the Mamhead slipway in Exmouth on the afternoon of January 21.
