ANOTHER storm is set to strike just two days after Storm Eunice.

Millions experienced severe disruption as record-breaking winds caused death and injury across the UK, huge structural damage, transport chaos and widespread power cuts.

However, Storm Franklin is due to arrive in Sussex on Sunday, with an amber weather warning issued by the Met Office.

The weather service said the wind could cause “travel delays, road and rail closures, power cuts and the potential risk to life and property” in some areas of the UK.

Milder yellow warnings for wind cover Wales and most of England from midday until 3pm, and the North West and Northern Ireland from midday until midnight.

Identical wind warnings have been issued for Monday.

Environment agencies have also issued hundreds of alerts for flooding across the UK.

This comes just two days after Storm Eunice caused more than 20,000 homes in Sussex to lose power.  

As of 6am on Saturday, February 19, there were still 12,800 homes in East Sussex and a further 9,700 in West Sussex still without power.

A huge number of trees fell, seafront establishments flooded and a number of properties were damaged during the storm.

The Met Office said a wind speed of up to 122mph was recorded at the Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday, provisionally the highest ever in England.

They also described the storm as the worst since the Burn’s Day storm 32 years ago in which 47 people died.

About a third of the UK population – around 20 million people – were told to stay at home as the Met Office imposed two rare red warnings for much of southern England, south Wales and London.

However, Sussex Police said there were no serious incidents in the county due to Storm Eunice.

"Storm Eunice has caused some damage and disruption across Sussex, mainly with fallen trees," a police spokesman said.

"We haven’t received any reports of any serious incidents and we would like to thank everyone who followed the guidance and either remained indoors or made only essential journeys."
