Storm Eunice Eastbourne pictures: Damage caused by dangerously high winds

Trees were brought down and buildings damaged as Storm Eunice ripped through Eastbourne on Friday (February 18).

The whole country was on alert after weather forecasters warned of dangerously high winds. Nearly all public transport was affected and people, hoping to witness the dramatic scenes, were warned to stay away from the coast

Storm Eunice has been compared to the Great Storm of 1987 and Friday’s gales are thought to be the some of the worst we have experienced in 30 years. You can see pictures of the Great Storm from our archives here

Clear up and repairs have started following Storm Eunice and although the worst is over, with more weather fronts coming in this week, gusty winds continue to cause some problems.
