On Friday, ECR Newswatch reported that Britain put the army on standby on Thursday and schools prepared to close as forecasters issued a rare "red weather" warning of "danger to life" from fearsome winds and flooding due to an approaching storm.

The storm had already killed nine people in Europe on Friday, pummelling Britain with record-breaking winds and forcing millions to take shelter as it disrupted flights, trains and ferries across Western Europe.

Some have also taken some time to see the funny side of the storm on people in public - none of them of injuries.
