Storm Ciaran: Watch as Portsmouth and Hayling Island are flooded and battered by heavy rain and wind

The Environment Agency issued 54 flood warnings across Hampshire and the south coast and a major incident was declared in the area – though it was downgraded yesterday (November 2).

However, parts of the city bore the brunt of the downpours, including Portsmouth cricket ground and Southsea Common which were both flooded.

A number of concrete slabs to the east of South Parade Pier were also displaced from the edge of the promenade, with shingle and other debris also spread across the beach and road.
