have been cancelled, schools are closed and thousands of homes are without power. our correspondent simonjones looks first at how eunice is affecting us so far. we were warned. as forecast, storm eunice swept in this morning, battering the coast of wales. and in cornwall — a red warning meaning a simple message, the storm is so severe, that lives are at risk. i don't know what the actual wind speed is, but you can barely stand up in it. i'm guessing it's 80, 90 mph on top of the cliff. it has caused power cuts, forced hundreds of schools to shut, ..forced hundreds of schools to shut, and businesses to close. red warnings are very rare. since we changed the warning system in 2011, we have only issued 16 red warnings. they don't come along very often
