It got so dark here (Gloucester) that apparently the automatic streetlights turned on

The colouring and look is pretty much spot-on

Being in south London, the representation of people and weapons is uncannily accurate, too.

PM: UK ready to support Ireland if needed

Prime Minister Theresa May has "expressed her sympathies" to Ireland this afternoon after two people died as a result of Ophelia.

Downing Street said Mrs May spoke to Ireland's Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to confirm the UK government "stood ready to provide any support if requested".

Third victim of Ophelia in Ireland

A third person has died in the Republic of Ireland as a result of Storm Ophelia. Gardai say a tree fell on the man's car in Ravensdale, Dundalk.

No trees down here yet but my window is currently taking a beating from twigs flying off.

I never thought of Doom but that’s actually perfect. :lol:

Belfast is getting pretty grim, the peak is supposed to be around 6pm continuing for the rest of the night. I'm working until half two, joy.

I’ve really enjoyed the yellow sky today much calmer on your eyes than bright sunshine when driving and walking about.

Bad times.

It is undoubtedly a horrible tragedy that three people have lost their lives because of this.

In terms of the weather we have seen here on the mainland, my god. What majestic, almost science fiction scenery we have witnessed. It's been beautiful.
