Nine cows have been killed after a power cable came down at a west Cornwall farm during Storm Darragh. The livestock were sheltering under a hedge at Higher Bojewyan near Pendeen on Saturday night, said the farmer. Fallen power cables and trees closed a number of roads in Cornwall during the storm which brought winds of 67mph (107km/h) to the area. Western Power Engineers have been at the scene and the farmer said he was unable to go anywhere near the field as it was too dangerous.
