In the past couple of days, Storm Ciarán created quite a ruckus across southern parts of England, but caused more significant disruption to the Channel Islands.
As Ciarán arrived on Wednesday night, the Channel Islands received the brunt of the storm with wind gusts in excess of 100mph observed at Jersey airport. There were reports that a suspected tornado developed across Jersey during the early hours of the night, accompanied by hailstones the size of golf balls. Serious damage was inflicted on properties, with windows being blown in, roofs torn off houses and debris damaging cars.
