STORM Eunice has been upgraded to a RED "danger to life" warning with fierce winds set to hit tomorrow.

       It comes after Storm Dudley last night left homes and cars wrecked with 100mph gales - with Brits waking up this morning to debris in their gardens.

       Five weather warnings for snow and wind are in place for Friday - including a danger to life red warning in the South

       But this weekend's Storm Eunice could be even worse - with forecasters saying gales could be stronger than on Burns Night in 1990 when speeds reached 107mph.

       And all trains in Wales have been cancelled as the red wind warning is set to bring danger to life and severe travel issues.

       Brits have been warned to NOT travel on the roads after a man tragically died during Storm Dudley last night.

       A lorry driver in his sixties was blown off a HGV in Marston Green near Solihull, West Mids, at around 9pm last night while trying to unload.

       He is believed to have lost his balance before plunging 12 feet to his death from the double-decker wagon.

       Storm Eunice has now been declared a major incident by Avon and Somerset Local Resilience Forum over the "potential for severe disruption" to the region.

       The forum, whose members include the emergency services, health services, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Environment Agency, said members of the public should avoid travelling on Friday morning "wherever possible".

       'MAJOR INCIDENT'

       In a statement, the forum said 90mph gusts could "cause coastal flooding and affect trees and temporary structures".

       The statement added: "Emergency services, local authorities, National Highways and other voluntary and statutory agencies are on standby to put well-rehearsed plans into place."

       Met Office forecaster Becky Mitchell said: "With the wind gusts we are forecasting at the moment, we've only seen a handful of storms in the past 30 years that have brought similar gusts.

       "It's got the potential to be up there as quite a notable storm."

       The Met Office has now issued the highest level of alert for Storm Eunice, warning that there could be a "danger to life" as a result of extremely strong winds.

       The red weather warning covers the coastline of Devon and Cornwall as well as the south coast of Wales and will come into effect from 7am on Friday.

       Forecasters have told Brits to brace for flying debris and damage to buildings and homes - as roofs tiles and power lines are expected to be brought down.

       Meanwhile, they have issued an amber warning for wind covering all of the south of England - and stretching as far north as Blackpool.

       It's in place between 3am and 9pm on Friday.

       The Met Office issues warnings ahead of severe or hazardous weather which has the potential to cause "damage, widespread disruption and danger to life."

       The warnings are given a colour to reflect the seriousness and likelihood of the impact, ranging from yellow, amber and red.

       RED ALERT

       Red is the most serious of the weather warnings.

       It means "extreme weather" and danger to life is expected.

       The Met Office says: "Red means you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the weather.

       "Widespread damage, travel and power disruption and risk to life is likely.

       "You must avoid dangerous areas and follow the advice of the emergency services and local authorities."

       ？？Forecasters say Eunice will wreak havoc after Storm Dudley brought 90mph gusts across northern England, north Wales, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Border.

       The Met Office says "very strong and disruptive" winds are due.

       And on Friday, Scotland and northern England will be hit with heavy snow, after the meteorologists issued a yellow warning for the white stuff.

       Up to 8inches of snow are expected to fall on Friday - with strong winds bringing "very poor visibility, blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow."

       The whole of Northern Ireland is also bracing for a snow warning - as Storm Eunice continues its wrath.

       Rail, road, and air travel will be disrupted on Friday while power cuts are expected to hit northern parts of the UK.

       And royal duties have also been postponed - with Prince Charles' trip to South Wales on Friday being cancelled because of the intense weather.

       This comes as deadly Storm Dudley - which caused havoc on Wednesday and Thursday - sadly killed a man who fell from a lorry during the unrelenting winds.

       DEADLY DUDLEY

       The man, in his sixties, plunged around 12 feet after falling from the double-decker wagon.

       It is believed he was attempting to unload heavy goods in high winds when he lost his balance.

       Emergency services were called to the industrial incident in Marston Green, near Solihull, West Mids, at 9pm last night.

       Medics tried to revive the man at the scene but despite their efforts he was pronounced dead.

       Snaps from last night in the North show a car completely crushed by a pile of bricks in Salford, Greater Manchester.

       The bricks were blown off a nearby house by the gale-force winds.

       Meanwhile in Eccles, also in Salford, emergency services were scrambled to a residential street after winds blasted a ROOF off a house.

       And in Kilwinning, Scotland, a tree crashed through a railway power line after being ripped from its roots by gusts of powerful wind.

       HEAVY SNOW AND GALE-FORCE WIND

       Today an emergency Cobra meeting has been summoned to hammer out a plan of action to the freak storms lashing Britain.

       Government crisis frontman Michael Ellis will gather top officials in Whitehall this morning to stop further destruction.

       Ministers have been urged to ensure the Cobra meeting results in an emergency support plan to deal with power cuts.

       Liberal Democrat communities spokesman Tim Farron said: "Whenever a storm hits, the Government is disgracefully unprepared to support the thousands of people affected, they never learn from their mistakes.

       "This time, as people up and down the country are barraged by stormy weather, the Government must be on hand to provide support.

       "The Cobra meeting must agree on an emergency support plan including providing food, emergency accommodation and electricity generators for those affected by any power cuts."
