The east of England including London has been added to the red weather warning
for wind issued by the Met Office because of Storm Eunice, which has prompted
rare danger-to-life warnings, with millions of people told to stay indoors at
home to avoid 90mph winds.
The rare highest alert – meaning a major impact is very likely – was widened
just before 4am, to run from 10am until 3pm on Friday, due to fears of the
storm “causing significant disruption and dangerous conditions due to
extremely strong winds”, the Met Office said.
⚠ #StormEunice is going to bring damaging and disruptive winds for most of the UK today.

The warning covering Greater London, Kent, Surrey, Essex and East Sussex
joined an earlier red weather warning starting from 7am along the coastline of
Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, as well as the south coast of Wales, due to the
combination of high tides, strong winds and storm surge.
