Millions of Brits are set to face New Year’s Eve chaos as Met Office issues a severe alert as Storm Henk batters the UK with high winds and tornados.

Ahead of New Year’s Eve the Met Office has put in place a yellow wind warning across the southeast and southwest of England. In an update, they said: « Gales or severe gales in association with heavy showers may lead to disruption to transport and infrastructure. »

They added that « delays to road, rail, air, and ferry transport are likely » and that « some short-term loss of power and other services is possible ».

The Met Office‘s wind warning came just after a brutal tornado smashed into a UK town and an image on social media appeared to show a squall line crossing near the Isle of Wight.
