Britain, brace yourselves! Storm Amy, the first named tempest of the season, is hurtling towards the UK with savage winds reaching 95mph and relentless downpours. Travel chaos is looming as the Met Office slaps down severe warnings.
The worst hit? Scotland’s north and west. An amber warning for dangerous winds is in place from 5pm today until 9am Saturday covering the Highlands and Western Isles. Officials warn of a ‘danger to life’ from flying debris, power cuts, closed roads, and smashed buildings.
