Unsurprisingly, the coast made some unmissable waves during the storm!
The Royals Shopping Centre was also closed during Sunday afternoon.
Southend seafront was also featured in this Guardian video showcasing the storm's most violent disruptions.
Despite the winds dying down, Storm Ciara is still affecting Southend with the Pier and cliff lift being shut until further notice.⚠️ **PIER AND CLIFF LIFTS CLOSED** ⚠️

The winds are still very strong, so for safety reasons Southend-on-Sea Pier, the Cliff Lift and Pier Hill lift remain closed today. #StormCiara #Southend
