The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for wind tomorrow (Friday) as Storm Eunice is set to sweep across Bridport and the South West

It states that there is a good chance that flying debris could result in a danger to life and damage to buildings and homes is likely, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down.

Roads, bridges and railway lines are likely to close, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights. There is a good chance of power cuts and mobile phone coverage being affected.

People should stay away from the coast as large waves and beach material are likely to batter seafronts, and it's likely there will be falling branches and uprooted trees.

A spokesman said: "Extremely strong winds may develop over South West England early on Friday, before spreading north and east during the day.

"Whilst there is some uncertainty in the track of Eunice, there is an increasing likelihood of widespread inland wind gusts of 60-70mph and up to 80mph in a few places. Around coasts of west Wales and South West England, gusts of 90 or possibly even 100mph are possible.

"Winds are expected to ease across western areas through the afternoon, and eastern areas during the evening."
