A 50-year-old tree has been destroyed at a Gower animal sanctuary in high winds caused by Storm Dudley.
Owners of Woodfield animal sanctuary in Welshmoor near Llanrhidian shared the footage on their social media.
They have now taken extra precautions to ensure that their 100 sheep, 75 horses, five cows, 35 cats, seven dogs and an alpaca are kept safe and out of danger after a red warning for Storm Eunice was issued by The Met Office. The sanctuary's owner and her husband will take round-the-clock shifts to check on the animals as another storm moves in. The "rare" red weather warning has been issued for parts of Wales from 7am until 12pm on Friday, February 18.

Disruption was caused all across the country due to strong winds from Storm Dudley but fortunately no animals or humans were injured at the animal sanctuary when the 70 foot tree fell to the ground.
Owner Robbie Barton said luckily fell onto fencing, rather than onto the animal shelters.
"We can't believe how lucky we are because the tree fell right within feet of our favourite sheep, Rambo and his little friend the cat, that sleeps with him."
Ahead of Friday's expected storm, all 70 rescue ponies have been put in stables so they are kept safe from danger, she said: "Tonight I'm not going to go to bed, me and my husband are going to take it in three hour turns between us to keep an eye on the animals as we've got over 70 rescue ponies on the yard and a lot of them are in shelters. Yesterday we day we brought all our live stock in from all over the Gower because we don't want any trees to fall on them so we've got all our rescue horses in our stables tonight."
The Welsh coast between Swansea and Chepstow, as well as parts of England are included in the red alert area. Read more about how windy it will be where you live in our latest Met Office forecast here.
