Storm Ciara lashed Gedling borough with heavy rain and winds of more than 90 miles an hour (145 km/hour) yesterday (Sunday, 9), forcing the cancellation of train services and closing major roads in the area.
A number trees were brought down during the storms which blocked major routes in and out of the borough.
Traffic was brought to a standstill on Main Road in Gedling, after a tree fell, closing the road for several hours while it was removed. Traffic had to be diverted back up Arnold Lane via the roundabout and away from the village by police during the incident.
Spring Lane at the junction with Mapperley Plains was also closed off to traffic after a tree fell into the road.
Lowdham Lane in Woodborough and Calverton Road near Dorket Head were also closed to traffic.
Trains serving Netherfield Station were cancelled during the morning and early afternoon after a tree was brought down onto the tracks. It was eventually cleared by Network Rail.
This trampoline, featured in the video above, was one of many carried out of gardens by the winds as they battered the borough. This one being blown into the road was captured on camera by Arnold resident Andrew Jackson.
Businesses were also left damaged in Arnold town centre, with tiles crashing to the floor after being brought off the roof during the storm.
