The worst storms for 15 years are on the way as the tail end of a hurricane hits our shores this weekend.
Gales of up to 80mph will set in tomorrow night, prompting warnings of damage to buildings, falling trees, flooding and transport chaos.
The Met Office issued a rare near-nationwide weather alert for Monday and said there were no areas that could be ruled out.
The warning comes as the remains of Hurricane Katia, which whipped up 22ft waves off the U.S. east coast, move across the Atlantic today.
By the time Katia reaches the UK, the winds will be just below tropical storm force – the same level as those that hit New York last month.

Glad I live in the Midlands, never seems to reach this far inland.
