About 30 beach huts on a south Devon sea front were ripped apart by storms this week.
Debris from the buildings at Dawlish was strewn all along the railway track and right into the town.
Owners will have to foot the bill for damage and loss of any belongings in the huts themselves as none of the structures were insured.
Storms and high tides continued to cause havoc in the area and train services were haulted after two Virgin trains became stuck outside Teignmouth.
