These pictures tell the story of serious weather event Storm Eunice, which brought chaos to Dorset a year ago today.

The storm caused winds of up to 90mph and brought chaos with the railway network forced to closed, trees torn down, vehicles blown off roads, roofs ripped off buildings, routes shut, and many homes left without power.

See our photographers and members of the Echo Camera Club's pictures of Eunice in the photo gallery above this article.

These images show the full power of Eunice by the coast, on the roads and the destruction it brought to buildings.

But the aftermath of the storm showed the best of human nature.

Community spirit was on full display in the aftermath as amid the mayhem, residents came out to help clear up.

Two of those who helped clear storm damage were couple Abi Holt, 21, and partner 25-year-old Jack Haynes.

They were travelling to purchase some puppy food when they came across a fallen tree on the A356 near Dorchester.

Mr Haynes had his chainsaw in the car from work and got about clearing the route.

Miss Holt said: “We could tell it might not have been cleared anytime soon as the council was busy that night.

“Other people who stopped saw we were cutting the tree down to clear the road so got out of their cars to help us.

"It was lovely to see that people were willing to help us so the road was safe.”

Near Sherborne, the A30 was blocked on Friday at Bradford Hollow due to a fallen tree and a rockfall.

However, thanks to Michael Calverley, 22, and five of his friends they managed to clear the road in two and a half hours.
