Bridgwater and surrounding areas have been hit hard by Storm Darragh, as 90mph winds tear through south-west England, causing widespread devastation.

The UK Met Office has issued a life-threatening red weather warning for Bristol, Somerset, and nearby regions, in place until 11 a.m. on Saturday. The ferocious storm has already damaged buildings, with roofs ripped off homes and power lines brought down, plunging several areas into darkness.

Authorities warn of potential power cuts disrupting vital services, including mobile networks, while transport chaos grips the region. Roads, bridges, and rail services face closures, with bus and flight delays expected as the storm rages on.

Residents are urged to remain indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
