00:23 Brits should brace for possible power cuts, possible flying debris and for some roads and
00:29 bridges to close. The Met Office has also issued danger to life warnings as the 80mph winds could
00:35 batter certain buildings. The Yellow Weather Warning has been put in place across the
00:39 majority of the UK from 10am on Wednesday until 7am on Thursday. The gale force winds could also
