Parts of the UK are being warned to prepare for possible flooding. Storm Callum is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds. It's the third named storm of the year after Ali and Bronagh.
Thousands of homes and businesses across the country are without power because of it. Some flights at Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff and Exeter airports have also been cancelled. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Northern Ireland.
There are flood warnings and alerts in force across south-west England and Wales as well as weather warnings for the north-west coast of Scotland down to Land's End.
The Met Office says the highest wind speeds of 76mph were recorded on the Isles of Scilly in the early hours of Friday.

Last Friday the English town of Windsor had a second major royal wedding this year, this time involving Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter Princess Eugenie. She tied the knot with Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle.
The 28-year-old is the cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry. The third of the Queen's four granddaughters, Princess Eugenie was born on 23 March 1990, and is ninth-in-line to the throne. What you might not know is that Eugenie's name is actually pronounced 'Yoo-Jenny'.
Her father is Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, who is the third child of the Queen. He was the first child born to a reigning monarch for 103 years. Eugenie's mother is Sarah Ferguson - popularly known as 'Fergie' - who married Prince Andrew in 1986.
Her show in Birmingham at the Town Hall on 25 March is already a sell-out, and Joan was quick to confirm that ‘coming home’ to Brum will mean a lot to her.
“This time as it’s my last big tour I wanted to make it especially memorable so there’s no band, just me with a piano and my acoustic guitar. I’m so looking forward to coming back to Birmingham. I still have family there, so when I do a gig it really feels like I am coming home.
“I grew up in Birmingham from around seven until I was 19 or 20. My mother bought a piano, not as an instrument as such but just as a nice piece of furniture for the front room. That’s where my music started.” A guitar purchased in a pawnshop for £3 followed… and the rest is history. Joan first performed in a concert at Birmingham University at the age of 16.
