Power has been returned to 600 Ilminster homes, five hours after it was cut off by Storm Jake.
The Western Power Distribution customers had their electricity cut off at around 10am after severe winds across the South West.
WPD have now confirmed that power has been returned to all the Ilminster homes.
Power supplies are restored at #Ilminster #TA19 and the surrounding areas. We are sorry for the disruption. Kay

A spokesman for Western Power Distribution said: "We currently have about 600 customers off supply, engineers are now resolving the issue at the scene.
"The cause of the power cut was a fault on the overhead network."
The power cut was one of a number in Somerset, caused by the strong winds brought about by Storm Jake, with more than 700 WPD customers without power in Taunton earlier today.
Following delays in restoring power, WPD tweeted:
Power cut update for #Ilminster #TA19 area. Engineers continue to work on the fault & estimate power to be restored by 16:30. Steve
