Storm Eunice is heading our way, with Cranleigh expected to experience damaging gales on Friday.

The Met Office has put in place an Amber warning for wind between 5am and 9pm tomorrow, warning of significant disruption due to extremely strong winds.

The warning includes a good chance that flying debris could result in a danger to life.

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 that power cuts, possibly prolonged, could occur, perhaps affecting other services, such as mobile phone coverage.

It is likely there will be falling branches and some uprooted trees.

In Cranleigh, the strongest winds are currently forecast between 8am and 3pm, with the worst conditions expected late morning and lunchtime.

Winds could exceed 70mph from 9am onwards.

The Met Office is advising us to take extra care throughout the storm.
