Storm Eunice is now battering West Yorkshire.

It's the second lot of bad weather we've had this week, with a yellow warning for wind in place across the region.

We are being urged to avoided wooded areas in West Yorkshire if we can, due to potential falling trees or debris.

Travel Updates:

We are also being told to avoid travelling if we can, with train companies saying they could have to cancel or reduce services at short notice.

All traffic is being temporarily held after two lorries overturned Northbound on the M1 near Wakefield.

Traffic is being held between junctions 40 and 41.

Some flights to and from Leeds Bradford Airport have been cancelled - passengers are being urged to check before they travel to the airport.

The winds became so intense today, the side of an apartment block in Leeds was partially destroyed.
