Damaging gusts of wind and stormy seas are expected in southern parts of the United Kingdom.
Mark Bailey-Walker, sergeant commander for Jersey Fire & Rescue Service, said conditions were 'getting a lot worse'. 'There's been a lot of structural damage, a lot of roof and chimneys down, trees are down obviously, roads are blocked, there's a lot of debris out on the roads,' he said.
Mr Bailey-Walker said the safety of staff was a priority. 'We've got to be very careful around health and safety about our crew working out in the open, so as conditions are worsening it is making it more difficult. 'It's already tricky out there anyway, so it's making it very difficult for us.'
