In Shrewsbury, town council workers took the decision to close The Dingle in the Quarry and anticipated it would remain closed for the rest of the weekend.
Due to the high winds of #StormErik we have closed the #dingle in the Quarry for safety reasons. It may remain closed all weekend, we will keep you posted. Many thanks #Shrewsbury

On St Chad's Terrace, roadwork barriers, put in place as part of the current phase of the Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package were blown into the carriageway.
And on the A49 in the south of the county, standing water had encroached on to the road.
According to the Environment Agency, river levels had risen quickly in response to the effects of the storm.
Rivers surprisingly responsive to rainfall from #StormErik considering how dry it’s been during January.

The storm is expected to blow itself out and while it will remain windy with a few showers, tomorrow looks a better day with some sunny intervals although it will still fell cool.
