There was widespread disruption and damage at the weekend as Storm Bert struck the South West.
The Environment Agency issued three flood warnings and 15 flood alerts for Cornwall
The Met Office issued yellow warniings of strong winds and heavy rain across Cornwall and Devon.
And National Grid reported that power was cut in around 5,000 homes, and warned people of the danger of fallen electricity lines.
Train services were also disrupted across the South West, because of flooding and fallen trees.
Great Western services between Penzance and London Paddington were cancelled and there were other local cancellations across Cornwall.
Devon and Cornwall Police said officers attended 93 reports of road traffic collisions over the weekend, although not all incidents were related to the weather.
Falmouth's Castle Beach Cafe's outdoor seating area was destroyed by stormy seas for the second time this year.
Owner Emily Davidson said that every year they lose something like a picnic bench, but two storms this year have completely destroyed it.

TRANSLATION
A man who spent nearly 拢170,000 on a former toilet block in Mounts Bay, has revealed his plans for the building, which is located on a narrow strip of land between the railway line and the coast path.
According to developer Simon Ayres - who bought the building from Cornwall Council in March - the only reason he bought it is the view.
The toilet block, which ironically no longer has any working toilets, overlooks St Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay.
Mr Ayres now has plans to lease the property as a cafe, install a new unisex toilet block and build 18 beach pods on the strip of land next to the building.
The plans have brought criticism from some local people, who felt that the new buildings would 鈥渃hange their views鈥, with one resident saying they would be a 鈥渃omplete eyesore鈥.
Mr Aryes acknowledged there had been some criticism of his plans but added the feedback had been mostly positive.

TRANSLATION
An exercise book, nearly 50 years old and discovered in a drawer of a Cornish school has been returned to a former student.
History teacher Alex Morgan found the book when he was tidying a classroom at Humphry Davy School in Penzance during half-term.
The front cover said the book had belonged to Sean Morris in 1975, and after the school shared photos of it on social media, the ex-pupil was found.
He was invited back to his former school where he was reunited with the book.
