Brits are being told to brace for gusts of winds up to 90mph as Storm Dudley sweeps in from the Atlantic on Wednesday morning with a "danger to life" warning in place from the Met Office.
It is expected to be a mild start to Wednesday before the winds begin to pick up before becoming "very strong and disruptive".
There is also the possibility of widespread travel chaos including a "good chance" of power cuts and disruption to transport services.
The amber warning states: "Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties."
While there is also a wider yellow warning for strong winds, the more serious amber is in place from 4pm until midnight and covers a large belt across the middle of the UK, including regions north of Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire and south of Perthshire in Scotland.
Forecasters have said residents in this region can also expect heavy showers throughout the afternoon and snow on high ground. My g/f is holding my hand

Britons are being warned to brace themselves for one of the strongest storms in 30 years, as Storm Eunice sweeps across the UK.
The Met Office issued a rare red weather warning along the coastline of Devon and Cornwall for Friday as well as the south coast of Wales, due to extremely strong winds.
People in areas with weather warnings are being told to stay indoors where they can, with experts warning Eunice poses a "significant danger to life". What is a red weather warning?
A red weather warning is the highest warning the Met Office issues for adverse weather conditions.
It's global warming
Forecasters have said Storm Eunice could be the strongest storm in three decades, with 100mph winds expected to batter the west coast.
From 7am on Friday, a red warning among much of the south will be in place.
The Met Office has said it is highly likely there will be disruptions to power lines and travel across Friday.
It's the same in the UK as well, they are taking over the entertainment industries here.as well, ask the average Indian worker and he will tell you the Indians are here to take over, no less
Yes your right my hormones did rage,,,,,,, they just have a little grumble now, but the thought of you standing in front of the class in just your knickers has a little appeal
Clarence House is facing fresh questions over further revelations in the royal “cash-for-honours” scandal involving middlemen who reportedly took cuts for setting up meetings between wealthy donors and the Prince of Wales.
Prince Charles “met at least nine times” with William Bortrick, the alleged fixer at the heart of the claims, who is said to have received thousands of pounds to secure an honour for a Saudi billionaire and brokered a personal thank you letter from Charles to a Russian donor, the Sunday Times reported.
Clarence House has previously said it had “no knowledge” of the practice of paid intermediaries arranging access to the royal family or honours in exchange for donations to the prince’s charities.
Meanwhile, the Mail on Sunday reported that Charles met Bruno Wang, who describes himself as a Chinese philanthropist and donated £500,000 to the prince’s charity, the Prince’s Foundation.
The newspaper claimed that Wang is wanted in Taiwan for alleged money laundering and being a fugitive from justice, allegations he strongly denies, and drew comparisons between Wang and the Russian banker Dmitry Leus.
Leus was likewise accused of money laundering and made a donation of £500,000 to the foundation. Leus’s conviction was overturned.
The Russian banker reportedly received two invitations to private events at Charles’s royal residences in Scotland, allegedly secured by Bortrick. They were both cancelled because of the pandemic and concerns about the donor’s past.
The allegations have prompted an investigation at the Prince’s Foundation which has led to Michael Fawcett temporarily stepping down as chief executive. Fawcett said he fully supported the investigation. Douglas Connell, the chair of the Prince’s Foundation, also resigned, citing evidence of possible “rogue activity” and “serious misconduct” of which he said he had no knowledge.
Prince Charles will be above the law when he becomes King
