Watch: storm clouds gather over the North Sea on the morning of Storm Eunice
The North East is braced for high winds as Storm Eunice arrives in the region today.
Winds were already starting to whip up at the coast this morning, as this video from our snapper Frank Reid shows.
Eunice is set to batter the country, with red warnings in place from the Met Office for the south in particular.
Hartlepool’s yellow warning is less severe, but winds are still set up to pick up dramatically in the afternoon.
