WINDS of up to 80mph are expected to batter Carmarthenshire and cause ‘significant impact’ as Storm Ophelia hits later today (Oct 16).
The Met Office has warned that there could be a danger to life due to flying debris in the high wind.
There could also be disruption to travel as roads could be flooded and fallen trees could cause obstruction.
The Cleddau Bridge may also close high-sided or all vehicles.
Those living by the coast have been told to stay away from the water to avoid risk of being blown or swept into the sea.
1,200 soldiers are on standby across the UK to respond to any significant incidents caused by the storm.
