let's talk to alex from the met office.further damage and further disruption, that amber warning is still in place until 9pm. is this one of the things that makes storm eunice so perilous, that it is spread across the country and it's also bringing with it snow, high wind and also potential flooding? the snow is also significant across eastern scotland because it's not just snow, we have seen blizzards from that, it is the intensity of storm eunice. it has been widespread, warnings out from north—east scotland to the south—west of england but actually parts of the outer hebrides have a pretty good day. it's pretty widespread, it really is the intensity, the strength of the wind, to see these strong winds and across the south where we just don't see them that often, that has been one of the biggest factors. the speed it has actually move through, pretty smartly, but all storms are different and offer different things, this one particularly intense, red warnings aria, to have two the same day is exceptional. where is it headi
