High winds battered West Cumbria last night as Storm Ophelia made her way through the country.

Reports were received of trees blocking the road between Camerton and Broughton this morning.

A spokesman for Cumbria police said: "Winds have reached up to 70 mph on high, exposed, coastal areas, and incidents have been reported throughout Cumbria. Reports include trees down, roofs and debris on the roads and overhead cables down.

"Police are urging the public to only make essential travel, drive with caution, take emergency supplies such as blankets, food and water and mobile phones and chargers."
