After the ferocious storm, the clean-up operation is beginning around the Island.
Although more than 10,000 sandbags were issued across the island, significant damage was caused to business and homes hit by severe flooding following an unusually high tide.
Ramsey, Castletown and Douglas have borne the brunt and civil defence volunteers are conducting welfare checks in Hope Street and Douglas Street in Castletown this afternoon.
MHK for the town, Richard Ronan, is appealing for volunteers who can go to the town commissioners’ yard over the next few hours to fill sand bags.
