Several schools in East Devon will be closed tomorrow (Friday, February 18) because of the severe weather warning.
An amber warning for extremely strong winds is in force for this part of the county from 5am until 9pm.
Storm Eunice is expected to bring ‘significant disruption’, with the Met Office predicting that flying debris ‘could result in a danger to life’.
Damage to buildings and power lines is likely, and large waves are expected to throw beach material on to seafronts and coastal roads.
It is also likely that trees will be uprooted and branches torn off.
Full list of schools closed today can be found on the Devon County Council website https://www.devon.gov.uk/schools/closure/
A red warning for extremely strong winds is in force for parts of North Devon between 7am and noon tomorrow, meaning ‘dangerous conditions’. Many schools in the affected area have announced they will close for the day.
