Storm Imogen leaves homes without power across England and Wales

About 15,000 homes are without power after Storm Imogen's heavy rain and high-speed winds battered Britain.

The brunt of the bad weather affected south-west England and south and mid-Wales - which is where the majority of homes without electricity are.

Waves of up to 19.1m (63ft) have been measured off the Cornish coast, and winds of 70-80mph felt in many areas.

Rail services are disrupted, some cross-Channel ferries cancelled and drivers urged to take extra care.
