Police Storm Corrie 999 warning as Leeds set for more extreme winds on Monday

Leeds is set to be battered by extreme winds again on Monday with a possible 'danger to life' due to the severity of the gales.

Monday will see a yellow weather warning for strong winds, the second day of warnings in a row in the city.

The Storm Corrie warning comes just days after a van was crushed under a tree in the previous extreme weather front, Storm Mallik - a man was trapped in the crushed van and was lucky to escape.

Storm Malik brought strong winds up to 70mph across Yorkshire under a yellow weather warning over the weekend.

Elsewhere, bricks cascaded from a house in Huddersfield and buried a car, trees have been felled, and a marquee flew away from a bar in Leeds.

And forecasters say more of the same will hit Leeds again on Monday.

The Met Office says to expect travel disruption, power cuts and 'injuries and danger to life.

But West Yorkshire Police are warning people that there is one storm related reason they won't be pleased if you call 999 over.

A social media account belonging to the force is telling people not to report fallen trees.

They said: "Hello from #Team5 here for the late shift. Will be another busy one thanks to #StormCorrie and high #Wind forecast and #Amber warning in some areas.

"Please do report fallen trees to your local council. 999 for emergencies and non emergencies can be reported online or 101."
