‘It’s like sandpaper on your face’: BBC reporter on Storm Darragh

Millions of people in parts of Wales and south-west England have been told to stay at home as forecasters warn of a danger to life as Storm Darragh brings winds with gusts of more than 90 mph.

“We can feel the rain hitting the side of us… and it feels at times like the side of your face is being sandpapered” BBC reporter Oli Constable said as he reported from Bangor, Wales.

He was positioned in a safe area, in the open and away from water.
