Gale force winds battering the Island have brought further disruption to roads and sea travel this morning (27 Dec).
Predicted fierce storms have led to the cancellation of ferries between Douglas and the UK, with the 0845 sailing to Heysham and afternoon return both called off, first thing.
The Steam Packet Company will announce a decision on tonight's Ben my Chree 1945 service from Douglas and overnight return, by 1500 this afternoon.
Around the Island, winds gusting up to 70mph have brought down trees and left many roads strewn with debris and branches.
Police say trees have fallen in a number of areas and advise motorists to drive with care as gusting winds are likely to push vehicles around, especially on exposed roads.
This evening's high tide (1836) could see rough seas splash-over on coastal roads and at harbours, drivers and walkers are strongly advised to avoid those areas and plan only necessary journeys.
