National media attention was focussed on Exeter today after a woman was killed by a falling tree during last night's storms.
Sky News was reporting live from the banks of the River Exe meanwhile every major newspaper website carried stories about the tragedy.
There had been anger that Devon was ignored by the London-based media during the worst of the flooding.
A frustrated Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw tweeted earlier this week: "If any other part of Britain was cut off by flooding (everything SW of Taunton) it would be on the national news!"
