Storm Ciarán is set to hit East Devon this week with the Met Office issuing yellow rain warnings and amber wind warnings, with gusts possibly reaching 80mph.
This could cause severe disruption and damage to our part of Devon. Please be careful over the next few days if you are traveling, particularly along our beaches and coast as tides and waves are likely to be high.
