Storm Ciaran blows in bedroom window in Jersey<\/h3>\n

A parent has captured the moment Storm Ciaran’s extreme winds shattered a window above their baby’s crib early this morning.<\/p>\n

Near-hurricane-force winds sweeping over the Channel Islands blew in a window at Jessica O’Reilly’s home as she slept next to her young child.<\/p>\n

The two were fast asleep when the storm – which commanded severe gusts of up to 104mph as it made landfall today – hit their home in St Clement, Jersey.<\/p>\n

Weather forecasters have issued the highest possible alerts for Jersey today, and dozens of residents have evacuated their homes as they react to life-threatening gusts being funnelled through the Channel.<\/p>\n

The mum’s baby monitor showed her lightning-quick reaction to the sudden wind blast this morning.<\/p>\n

Footage Ms O’Reilly shared with the BBC first shows her fast asleep in bed, and her child resting next to her in a bedside cot.<\/p>\n

After a brief moment, she is seen being jolted awake by Storm Ciaran banging at her window, before an explosion shatters the glass.<\/p>\n

Sounds picked up by the baby monitor capture the near-deafening sounds created by the rush of wind.<\/p>\n

The video shows curtains violently blowing inwards, and the quick-thinking mum snatching her child and taking them to safety within a second.<\/p>\n
