Met Office weather warnings are in place across the UK today as the Spanish named Storm Herminia arrives in the UK and Ireland. The Met Office has warned the damage could be more widespread due to the impact of Storm Eowyn.

The Met Office has issued an urgent update on a previously issued red alert as Storm Eowyn causes mass chaos across the UK with widespread travel disruptions and school closures. Red wind warnings are in effect in Northern Ireland until 2pm on Friday and in western central and southern areas of Scotland until 5pm.

With Storm Éowyn battering Britain, several social media users reacted to warnings issued by the Met Office, with comments ranging from fairly sane to absolutely nuts.
