Cars on the Isle of Man got a free and unexpected carwash last weekend. But not the one they were hoping for. Storm Storm Kathleen pummeled the British island.

Katleen, named by the Irish Meteorological Service was the 11th named storm of the 2023-24 season. It has caused disruption across Ireland and the UK, Reuters reports.

Check this eyewitness video from the capital of the British Crown dependency. It shows traffic on the Douglas Promenade coastal road caught in the overtopping waves. Salt water is usually bad news for cars, which probably ment a visit to a regular carwash followed soon after the free shower.

The island’s Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for overtopping waves around parts of the island’s coast last Sunday. A second yellow warning for heavy rain and localised flooding was still in place on Tuesday.
