Our reporter Idris Martin has been to Portland Bill today (Wednesday) to see the early dramatic scenes and choppy seas as Storm Ciarán begins to take hold.
A number of other sightseers were also there no doubt hoping to get that perfect shot.
The Met Office issued yellow warnings several days ago for heavy rain and high winds affecting the south of England, including Dorset, and Wales from 18:00 Wednesday 1st November until 23:59 on Thursday 2nd Nov.
