Record Winds From Storm Eunice Tearing Off Roofs, Knocking Over Londoners in the Streets
Storm Eunice is currently battering London with strong winds. So strong that it is ripping the roofs off buildings, including taking part of the roof off the O2 Arena. Winds have been clocked at a record122 miles per hour. Londoners who have yet to seek cover are having trouble staying on their feet.
