That orange warning has been cancelled ahead of time

The Met Office advised

Storm Debi is like to bring very strong and disruptive winds to southeast Northern Ireland on Monday morning

What to expect

Flying debris is likely and could lead to injuries or danger to life

Probably some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs

Longer journey times and cancellations likely, as road, rail, and ferry services are affected

Some roads and bridges likely to close

There is a good chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage

Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties
