Trees have fallen and buildings have been damaged after Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice kicked up high winds across the city.

Storm Dudley and Eunice have caused damage across Sheffield today after generating winds at speeds as high as 60-75mph. 

These storms coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Sheffield Gale, a hurricane that saw winds up to 97mph in Sheffield and killed up to 3 people.

People of Sheffield took to twitter to show the impact of the storm. 

Seen above is a tree that has fell on Dobcroft Road, Millhouses, forcing drivers to have to perform a U-turn. A second fallen tree blocked the road in Derbyshire Lane, Norton Lees, stopping commuters in their tracks. 

The storms’ high winds haven’t just been causing trees to fall, it has also knocked off Co-op signage on Castle House, above the National Videogame Museum, thankfully harming no-one.

The Met Office has issued an amber warning across the southern half of the city today after both Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice have struck the UK.

This means that there is an increase in impacts from severe weather, such as likely disruptions to travel, as well as a potential risk to life and property.
