Locals have said they are “devastated” after a large tree in the centre of town was torn down by strong winds brought on by Storm Eunice.
Video shared to social media of the tree in Bude, Cornwall, shows the roots being ripped from the earth.
The movement crumbled a nearby wall as the tree fell to the ground in the Triangle - a park in the centre of the town.
Tom Cox, 25, who has lived in the town his whole life, said the tree had been a "big part of Bude".
"Everyone is devastated," he said.
Mr Cox said the town's fountain had also been damaged, along with a wall and bench.
Bude-Stratton Town Council has urged locals to stay inside and away from the fallen tree, adding in a Facebook post: "As soon as it is safe to do so our team will work on making the area safer and start to work on the damage caused."
The latest tale of destruction comes amid reports that Storm Eunice has ripped the O2 Arena's iconic roof "to pieces", with large holes spotted in the popular London venue.
Shocked onlookers in nearby buildings shared videos of the shocking damage.
Twitter user Ben Hubbard said: "The Millennium Dome is being shredded to pieces by the high wind conditions.
"First one panel was ripped off, then another went too. How much more will this thing be destroyed?"
He later added another video showing around six panels had come off adding: "This thing isn't slowing down."
In another video shared to Twitter, part of the membrane which covers the arena was seen falling into the Thames.
Storm Eunice has also brought travel chaos for thousands this morning as a rare red weather warning has seen some regions declare major incidents.
Rail services across the country have been cancelled, while flights have also been delayed or cancelled in airports across the UK. People being told to only travel is absolutely necessary.
Roads across the country have been blocked by falling trees and debris, with commuters in parts of the north and Scotland waking up to a blanket of snow.
The city of Bristol and the Cornwall region have both declared major incidents as they prepare for the onslaught of the storm.
Gusts reaching a record-breaking 122mph have been recorded on the Isle of Wight.
And the whole of London and the surrounding areas are now also covered by the red warning zone with fears of flying debris and a danger to life - and meteorologist Ryan Maue has warned that Eunice could bring 'hurricane-like' winds to the UK.
