amber weather warnings issued across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Storm Goretti, named by <strong>Meteo France<\/strong>, evolved into a \u201cweather bomb\u201d, bringing up to 30cm of snowfall in <strong>Wales<\/strong> and <strong>the Midlands<\/strong> as well as winds of up to 100mph (160km\/h) across exposed hills and coastal areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Amber

rare red warning for \u201cdangerous, stormy\u201d winds was issued by the Met Office later for <strong>south-west England<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The warning, from 4pm until 11pm on Thursday, saw \u201cviolent gusts\u201d over two to three hours hit parts of <strong>Cornwall<\/strong> and the <strong>Isles of Scilly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The <strong>Met
