A severe storm with conditions described as "horrendous" has battered Guernsey's east coast overnight.

Alderney coastal defences were attacked by huge waves, although the roads and buildings remained flood free.

Guernsey suffered as wind speeds hit Storm Force 10 - with ten trees downed around the island.

Parked cars floated from their spaces as flooding caused the closure of the bulk of the coast road, between Bulwer Avenue and the Val De Terres.

Alderney's Harbourmaster, Mark Gaudion, filmed the high waves

The Rohais Du Haut, Saline Road and the Hougue Mague are still closed but police said the rest of Guernsey's main roads were now clear.

Chad Murray, the harbourmaster in Guernsey, said: "Some of the boats that had been laid up for winter maintenance have now fallen off their blocks and are lying on their side.

"Others are precariously balanced, so we've had to close off the area."

Castle Emplacement was one of the worst hit areas.

Police described conditions on Guernsey overnight as "horrendous" with "extensive damage" in the Castle Emplacement area.

About 300 homes in St Peter Port lost power during the height of the storm after an electricity sub-station flooded.

The east coast was battered by waves nearly 40ft high

Waves up to 40ft tall have been crashing against the sea wall

Bars continued to serve as the water levels rose last night

Winds of up to 60mph forced the waves to reach inland                                    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-guernsey-26046894

PREVISION GLOBALE TOUS RISQUES CONVECTIFS
	PROBABILITE DE TORNADE QUALIFICATION GENERALE DU RISQUE CONVECTIF... Risque orageux diffus dans le sud-est puis arrivée d'une traîne active dans un contexte tempétueux dans le nord-ouest la nuit prochaine.     ANALYSE SYNOPTIQUE ET DE MESO-ECHELLE... Un thalweg d'altitude étroit et peu dynamique est positionné sur le centre du pays ce matin. Il migre vers l'est pour évacuer la France en fin de journée. Parallèlement, un nouveau système dépressionnaire arrive par l'ouest ce mardi après-midi. La dépression tempétueuse Petra, qui s'est creusée de manière explosive la nuit dernière au sud-ouest de l'Irlande, pilote une perturbation active qui balaie tout le pays d'ici la fin de nuit prochaine. A l'arrière du front froid, le thalweg d'altitude gagne l'ouest de la France avec un nouveau refroidisssement sensible de la masse d'air à l'étage moyen, ainsi favorable au développement de la convection de masse d'air froid.
