Storm Franklin: TORNADO warning for UK as 80mph gales and floods hit in Britain’s worst run of storms EVER
A TORNADO warning and danger-to-life flood alerts have been issued as Brits brace for Storm Franklin chaos.
Hundreds of homes have been evacuated ahead of the third devastating storm in just five days.
It's the first time since significant storms were given names back in 2015 that three tempests have happened within days of each other.
Ferocious Storm Eunice killed four and plunged 1.3m homes into darkness on Friday.
Now Franklin, an 800-mile wide squall, will bring "severe and damaging gusts" across Northern Ireland from tonight until tomorrow morning.
An amber warning is in place from midnight.
There are currently two severe flood warnings in place near the River Mersey - alongside 315 other flood warnings alerts, as Brits brace for Storm Franklin.
Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna shared a warning from the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation on Twitter, telling followers: "Although a very low risk, a tornado or two is possible associated with today's squally cold front."
The storm will bring two inches of snow to the north.
