One Brit posted a picture of their garden chair tipped over by the gusts, but vowed: "We will rebuild" - and others followed suit.

The storm has left the UK with flooding, power cuts and debris on roads thanks to its 90mph gale-force winds.

Torrential rain and snow are also battering the country.

Flooding on the M5 caused delays in the Midlands, with surface water causing congestion on the northbound carriageway between junction 1 and junction 3 near West Bromwich.

Commuters are being warned not to make unnecessary journeys with flights grounded and speed limits imposed on trains.

An amber severe weather warning has now been extended to London with forecasters warning of very strong winds which could blow down trees, causing flying debris and damage buildings.

People coming into and out of St Pancras are facing delays until 12pm after overhead wires in St Albans were blown down.

She said: “I’m actually just struggling to keep my feet. We are certainly in the path of Doris.

 “If you are heading out this morning, please do take care.”

During the report, she is clinging onto her hood as the microphone is muffled due to the powerful winds.

Studio hosts Kate Garraway and Susanna Reid expressed concern for Mrs Dunlop, saying that they hope she stays safe.
