Storm Ciaran is huffing, puffing and nearly blowing houses down.
This mum said she feels 'lucky to be alive' after 100mph winds blew her bedroom windows in as she and her baby slept.
Jessica O'Reilly was woken by the powerful gusts battering her home in St Helier, Jersey, in the middle of the night.

Take a look here:
She was resting in bed while her three-month-old daughter slept in a cot next to her, who also appeared to have been disturbed by the worrying weather.
Incredibly, a baby monitor captured the moment the mum was forced to scoop up little Penelope and rush to safety as the window smashed.

Jessica explained it 'felt like the whole house was going to collapse' as Storm Ciaran shook the property.
Footage shows how she had just seconds to grab her daughter as ferocious winds blew in the bedroom window.
The glass shattered and sent shards flying towards them both - landing where they had been sleeping just moments earlier.

Jessica told ITV: "It felt like something was going to go wrong, and then the glass all came in. It was so loud.
"I just grabbed her [Penelope] and ran downstairs.
"There was a lot of glass that came in, and I'm just lucky that I grabbed her when I did because there was a load of glass in her bed, on the bed, all over on the floor, all over. So we're just lucky to be alive really."
She said the close call captured on the baby monitor was 'hard to watch'.

Luckily, the mother and daughter escaped safely and checked into a nearby hotel following the startling wakeup call.
