Potential problems could be 'injuries and danger to life from flying debris', power cuts and problems with mobile phone coverage, and damage to buildings and trees.

Storm Freya is expected to push quickly north-east across parts of England, Wales and southern Scotland through Sunday afternoon and evening, before clearing into the North Sea through the early part of Monday.
