A house in a sleepy village in south Wales has been demolished after being ripped apart by Storm Bert.
At least five people lost there lives in the fatal Storm over the weekend, as hundreds of homes were left underwater and rivers were turned into rivers in the UK.
Parts of the country were hit by up to seven inches of rain, heavy snow and 82mph winds, as nearly 300 warnings or alerts in place this morning as major rail disruption continued.
For a homeowner the storm spelt disaster as what appeared to be at least of half of their property battered from by the blistering winds.
The home located two miles south of Ammanford in the rural village of Garnswllt was left with half of its roof hanging on by a thread.
Several outer-walls were demolished following the ferocious winds, leaving barely any of the property in tact.
In the aftermath of the disaster, droves of bricks were scattered along on the grass in Lon Y Felin, with the home left bare to the elements.
Now shocking images show the home completely demolished after sustaining significant damage in midst of Storm Bert’s chaos.

It comes as further torrential downpours will hit southern England tonight after the Met Office issued a fresh warning for up to two inches of rain over a 14-hour period.
Forecasters said Sussex, Kent and the Isle of Wight could be worst affected by the rain, with a yellow warning in place from 10pm this evening until 12pm tomorrow.
Disruption to trains and buses is expected along with spray on roads, flooding to homes or businesses and interruption to power supplies and other services.

The warning area covers the South East coast of England from Essex down to Kent and along to Dorset, with a separate section further west for parts of Devon. It also covers much of Sussex, extending up to the edges of South and South East London.
Meteorologists said much of the warning zone will see 15mm (0.6in) to 20mm (0.8in) of rain with 30mm (1.2in) to 40mm (1.6in) in some areas, with a ‘lower chance’ of 50mm (2in) of rain in places, ‘more likely for the Isle of Wight, Sussex and Kent’.
The downpours will then ease and clear by early afternoon tomorrow, but disruption to travel and infrastructure has been deemed ‘likely’ given the recent wet weather.
While many parts of the UK will see ‘a dry and largely sunny day’ with lighter winds today, an area of low pressure will bring heavy rain into southern areas overnight.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: ‘On Tuesday night, we’ll see outbreaks of rain spreading north-eastwards, which could be heavy at times.
We’re expected this to be heaviest across the South/South East of England although subtle changes over the next 24 hours will have an impact on how this develops.
‘There could also be strong winds for a time. Along with the rain, things will turn colder from Wednesday for all, with frost and some freezing fog possible.’
