Storm Ciaran has hit the island of Jersey, destroying homes and forcing residents to evacuate from their homes.
The streets are strewn with bricks and tiles from surrounding buildings, and centuries-old trees have been destroyed by winds reaching speeds of up to 104mph.
Many island residents have never experienced such a severe weather event, with one telling Sky’s Ashna Hurynag that Storm Ciaran is “worse than” the Great Storm of 1987.

At least I don't live there I feel bad for the people that live that ❤😢
How would they know, they weren't hit by the full force of the 87 storm
Im 55 and the 1987 storm was like the country had been hit with a nuke.This storm doesn’t touch it.
It maybe for Jersey absolutely no chance that was worse than 1987 for the South Of England
Project fear 😱
Cor blimey quite chilly it is
The bite of 87
Currently bright sun here in the North 🤣
So many comments playing "Our storm was bigger than yours". That's no co solation to anyone with all their windows smashed and their roof gone. Since when did we lose our ability to just sympathise rather than make a crisis competition out of things?
"THIS IS WHAT HURRICANE WINDS LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As two seagulls comfortably fly past….
Storm!? Every channel is addicted to this storm……
Looks like the uk…. Why do we get so excited about these things. People behave like we don’t get the same weather 200miles away.
We live on a small island, nothing exciting here.
It wasn't as bad as bloody April 2023, stop your lies
Beginning of the End Times? Please Discern!
Worse tha 87 ? What a croc of crap. Nowhere near, not even close !!
Good God! Bless the people of Jersey and i'm not belittling the damage or severity of what happened but if the eye of that storm had been further north those winds could have hit major urban areas in the South and Central England. Imagine those winds and a potential tornado hitting the West Midlands County, Bristol, Cardiff or London. We dodged a bullet there. Where i live got off pretty much unscathed. Heart goes out to those in Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney. ❤
One word…….Terrifying……..I counted every minute I was safe……it was utterly devastating….my heart goes out to my not so lucky fellow islanders…..
It really really isn't
Both 1987 and Ciaran peaked with the same central pressure of 953mb and both likely managed to mix down similar winds to the bottom 10m level of the atmosphere – the difference between the two was that Ciaran took a slightly more southerly track than 1987 which is why the Channel Islands managed to get the worst of it.
Horrible storm! We also had a Tornado that ripped up everything in its path. We've never seen a tornado here!
Sky news yet again hyping the story making it more dramatic which is pathetic! No storm will be worse than 1987 get a grip!!!
1987,…a storm is on its way…thankfully, most people heeded the warning of the met office supercomputer…ironically of all of the names from a-z the storm was named ciaran – especially when london experienced storm ciara – (when the years old tree fell onto the car)…irony!…it's weird how u have to get to beaufort scale 6, for it to become even troubling, let alone amber, yellow and red warnings…1.2 billion from the storm of 1953
How come no one has a warning on the new mobile phone warning system because it was another money maker for his wifes company
Chemtrails now look like wars.
Nothing like storms in America…
1987 storm was much worse… I was out in it on La Collette reclamation site battling for three hours ‘at its hight’ to save the Colvic UFO 27 hull & deck yacht kit I’d just bought…
