Shoppers were forced to wade through flooded streets, while gardens have been completely destroyed as Storm Ciarán leaves a path of destruction behind it.
The storm battered the south of the UK and Channel Islands last night, with amber weather warnings in place from the Met Office.
Videos shared online showed the aftermath of the storm.
One TikTok filmed in Looe, Cornwall, saw shoppers wading through a flooded high street, with water up to their knees and the window ledges of stores.
Another video showed a garden in the Channel Islands that had been completely destroyed by the winds. A trampoline had been broken and fences pulled down by the strong gusts – which have reportedly been as high as 110 miles per hour.
Today, the storm will track across the south-east and East Anglia before moving over the North Sea this afternoon.
It is believed wind gusts will have peaked over the Channel Islands, Devon and Cornwall but damage and disruption are still possible this morning. Wind could strengthen across the coastal areas of the south-east.
Yellow and amber weather alerts for wind and rain remain in place across the south coast of England. There is also a yellow rain alert in Wales and along the east coast from Leeds to Inverness.
