Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the Army is on standby ahead of Storm Eunice, which is expected to hit large parts of the UK on Friday morning.
A rare Met Office red alert has been issued and one council area has already declared a major incident, with some schools saying they will stay shut tomorrow.
Mr Johnson was asked on a visit to RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire if he would deploy the army to combat the red weather warning and whether financial help would be available for those affected.
