Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin battered the UK in the last week, with winds as high as 122mph recorded.
In Stevenage and North Herts, trees toppled, fence panels were lost and some had near misses while contending with Eunice, in particular, when the Met Office issued a rare red weather warning.
A century-old beech tree came down in Hitchin, bringing down telephone cables with it.
Residents Eric and Chris Wilson caught the incident on camera, and said that they have never seen a storm which has caused destruction in Hitchin before.
Eric said: "Our neighbour later told us that he had heard an almighty 'crack', so he rushed out to see what had happened, thinking it was something to do with his house.
"A very old tree had fallen over bringing the telephone cables with it. Everybody has checked up on one another using their mobiles to make sure that all the neighbours are safe and have everything they need."
On Friday alone Stevenage Borough Council received reports of a collapsed chimney, over 70 fences down, more than 50 trees felled, a garage roof and depot gates blown off.
Many more reports are continuing to come in to the council’s customer service centre this week.
Council leader Sharon Taylor said: “We realise what a difficult time many of our residents and businesses would have had as we dealt with the storms and their aftermath.
"I am so proud of our team’s response and grateful for their efforts working solidly from the early hours on Friday and throughout the weekend, keeping our residents safe during and after.
“We have had upwards of 120 reports for repairs on Friday alone and we are doing our best to work through the issues our residents have notified us of.
“A major clear up operation was put in place to deal with the aftermath of the storms – teams were out clearing trees all with the possibility of the winds picking up yet again.
“I’d like to thank everyone that went the extra mile during and after the storms.”
Residents have been asked to bear with the council in the coming days while they address all reported issues.
