Storm Ciarán’s 104mph winds, rain and hailstones batter UK
The notice is in force from 3pm until midnight and forecasters predict "frequent heavy showers, along with gusty winds, are likely to cause travel disruption and flooding".After arriving at around 6pm on Wednesday evening, gales rapidly picked up and reached 98mph along exposed areas of the south east coast line.A mum in St Clements, one of the worst affected areas, was horrified when wind gusts smashed her window in as she slept next to her baby.
St Helier-based Carl Walker, the chairman of Jersey's Consumer Council, said: "The noise of the wind was just incredible and quite frightening. It was like a scene from a disaster movie."
