THESE are the best pictures of Storm Eunice taken by members of The Argus Camera Club.

A mass clean-up operation remains ongoing after record-breaking winds caused structural damage, transport chaos and widespread power cuts.

A huge number of trees and power poles fell, seafront establishments flooded and a number of properties were damaged during the storm.

Photos taken by the readers of The Argus show the level of destruction caused by the storm.

From huge waves on the beach to damaged allotments, members of The Argus Camera Club captured it all.

The Met Office said a wind speed of up to 122mph was recorded at the Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday, provisionally the highest ever in England.

They also described the storm as the worst since the Burn’s Day storm 32 years ago in which 47 people died.

About a third of the UK population – around 20 million people – were told to stay at home as the Met Office imposed two rare red warnings for much of southern England, south Wales and London.

However, Sussex Police said there were no serious incidents in the county due to Storm Eunice.

"Storm Eunice has caused some damage and disruption across Sussex, mainly with fallen trees," a police spokesman said.

"We haven’t received any reports of any serious incidents and we would like to thank everyone who followed the guidance and either remained indoors or made only essential journeys.”
