Oxfordshire has largely escaped any further storm damage after gale-force winds buffeted other parts of the UK.

A spokesman for Oxfordshire Fire Service said firefighters had received no weather-related call outs.

Yesterday, gale-force winds caused a power cut for 1,000 residents near Didcot and trees partially blocked a number of roads across the county.

The Met Office issued a severe gale warning for much of Britain from 9pm tonight until tomorrow afternoon.

Meteorologists said Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, northern England and North Wales, could expect 70mph winds, which could then spread south and south west.
