Storm Eunice: Farmers urged to take 'extreme care'

Farmers are being urged to take 'extreme care' as Storm Eunice is set to strike the countryside, bringing with it 100mph hurricane-force winds.

The Met Office has issued a red weather warning for extreme winds in South West England and South Wales, warning of ‘danger to life’.

Storm Eunice is set to strike from the early hours of Friday morning (18 February) and continue into the night.

High-speed winds are expected to bring power lines down, cause significant damage to buildings, rip trees from the ground and cause coastal flooding.
