'WEATHER BOMB' HITS UK

A so-called 'weather bomb' is hitting the UK with strong winds and high waves causing serious travel disruptions.

More than 17,000 people in the Western Isles of Scotland have been left without power.

Many trains and ferries to the west of Britain have been cancelled.

The 'weather bomb' is a deep low pressure system moving slowly eastwards bringing gales - before another storm front's expected to move back across the UK on Thursday.

Forecaster Jim Bacon from WeatherQuest says people with travel plans will need to be careful.
