Storm Ciara: 16 of the most shocking images and videos | indy100 | indy100

Storm Ciara is sweeping the UK. (That's pronounced "Kiera" as in Knightly by the way, not "Ciara" of 2004 "1, 2, Step" fame.)

The Met Office has issued a “danger to life” severe weather warning, saying that the winds could cause damage to buildings and power cuts.

Trans, flights and ferries have been cancelled and people are being advised to avoid travel if at all possible.

Last night, three people were injured after a pub roof partially collapsed in Perth, brought down by a neighbour’s chimney.

Over on Twitter, people are sharing some of the most astonishing images from the storm.

There were, of course, animals:
