An "exceptional" storm will hit Britain tonight - with people warned to stay in and avoid unnecessary journeys.
Forecasters say it will be the sort of weather only experienced once every seven years - prompting comparisons with the Great Storm of 1987.
Forecasters said the weather system currently forming out in the Atlantic is not an average winter storm and only 30 of a similar force have been recorded since 1821.
