The major incident saw multi-agency responses to nearly 150 emergency calls.
Guernsey Police say the number of 999 calls made on Thursday evening, during the Storm, was many times more than usual.
Six operators were in the JESSC call centre which took 450 calls in total as people were encouraged to only dial 999 in an emergency.
Guernsey Fire & Rescue Service says it responded to 50 Storm-related incidents on Thursday night.
The most challenging call was to a block of flats - owned by Tudor Estates - in outer St Peter Port, where a roof had partially come off.
The 48 residents are being put up in hotels and yesterday evening, 9 January, were allowed back to get changes of clothes.
Ambulance and Rescue attended ten call outs and Police and Civil Protection volunteers were deployed through the night.
Police say despite warnings to stay at home they arrested a 30 year old man on suspicion of drink driving after a collision on the Rohais de Haut at about 10 on Thursday night.
Officers say his sample provided in custody was three times above the legal drink drive limit.
Despite roads being strewn with debris there were no road traffic accidents on the day after the Storm.
Work to clear trees and debris and repair buildings continues and will do for some time.
