The 2 Cardiff A/C in the BBC picture are both PA 28's so low wing. Apparently both have been written off.
Not sure about damage to the club's PA 38 fleet as I never fly them.
The only available hanagarage at Cardiff was demolished last year, with no plans (I believe) for a replacement. Although there is a large empty hangar nearby which is up for lease as a warehouse - not sure why it is unavailable to A/C.
There are very few tie-downs available on the club apron. In previous storms, the A/C have been parked on the grass & secured to spikes - not sure whether this was done on this occasion. (Although the picture suggest both were on the apron)
I'm not happy at all, I'm sure the A/C won't be replaced for ages (if at all!) it'll probably curtail my flying for the winter.
