Seventh weather warning hits Devon

Not another one! 

Devon is bracing for more disruption as the seventh weather warning of the year came into force eariler today.

A yellow alert for rain is set to rumble on until midnight tonight, covering almost the entire county except for the north.

Met Office is warning of treacherous driving conditions and a high risk of surface water flooding. 

While most areas can expect between 10mm and 20mm of rain, high ground like Dartmoor could be lashed with up to 40mm before the day is out.

This latest deluge follows the trail of destruction left by Storm Chanda last week. 

The southwest is still tallying the cost of recent storms, with damages to towns and villages already estimated in the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The devastation is most visible at the coast, where a 200-metre section of the A379 Slapton Line near Torcross was washed into the sea overnight after sea defences were breached. 

Devon County Council has warned that repairs could cost tens of millions, leaving the local community cut off and devastated.

The sheer volume of water hitting the region has been historic - Devon saw its second wettest January on record and Cornwall endured its wettest January ever recorded.
