Storm Eunice could be one of the worst tempests in 30 years, with winds of up to 100mph possible in parts of the UK.
Experts have warned the storm could be one of the strongest since the Burns Day Storm in 1990 and are urging Brits to stay indoors.
The Burns Day Storm - which started on the birthday of the famed Scottish poet - resulted in wind speeds of 107mph in Aberporth, Wales, on January 25 1990.
