Clean up operations are well underway in the United Kingdom (UK) after storm Goretti ripped through parts of the country from Thursday, into Friday morning.
Thousands were left without electricity and roads and rail transport affected.
About 60 trees were reported fallen, in Bailiwicks overnight, blocking roads.
Some homes were damaged when walls caved in, at Gele Road, Castel, and Rue des Varendes.
Goretti also brought snow, across Wales and parts of the Midlands, necessitating an Amber warning.
Neil Armstrong, Chief Forecaster, at the Met Office, said the storm is a “multi-hazard” event, of wind speed of an estimated 99mph or 159,32 kilometres per hour, coupled with snow of between 10-15 cm with a possible 20-30 cm, on higher ground in Wales and the Peak District.
Some train lines in parts of Wales were closed on Thursday, the 8 January, and trains suspended in Cornwall and on the West Coast Main Line.
The storm is expected to land in Belgium on Friday.
It also hit the Channel Islands and northern France, on Thursday, affecting 380,000 homes.
