The UK is bracing itself for the imminent arrival of Storm Eunice with attractions closing, travel disruption and a major incident declared in some areas - where people are warned to stay indoors.
A rare red weather warning, meanwhile - the highest alert, meaning a high impact is very likely – has been issued by the Met Office due to the combination of strong winds, high tides and storm surge.
There is a risk of "flying debris resulting in danger to life" and "damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down" along the coastline of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset as well as the south coast of Wales from Friday morning (February 18).
