It’s been a wild, windy Friday after a weather Red alert was issued by the Met Office - warning of risk to life - and 70mph gusts were recorded in the capital, with Londoners urged to stay indoors.
London Ambulance Service reported two people injured, one by falling debris and another by a tree.
Trees have been brought down, buildings damaged - including the O2 - and there’s been widespread flight and rail cancellations.
London Fire Brigade declared a “major incident” due to the volume of 999 calls over Storm Eunice.
So how can we prepare for future extreme weather events and are the authorities doing enough when the worst happens?
The Leader’s joined by Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London.
