"The government has sent out an emergency alert to hundreds of thousands of Britons warning of an imminent danger to life. Some half a million people will receive the alerts at 5pm on Thursday and the first alert was sent to people living in the Isles of Scilly at 3pm. People who live in Cornwall will receive the alert by the Cabinet Office as Storm Goretti is set to hit with "violent gusts" of 100mph or more."
""The Met Office has issued a red warning for the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall from 4pm until 11pm on Thursday, January 8. "In light of the damaging winds and associated disruption, the Cabinet Office is issuing two Emergency Alerts to people in affected areas. "The first was sent at approximately 3pm on Thursday, January 8 to people in the Isles of Scilly. The second will be sent at approximately 5pm on Thursday, January 8 to people in Cornwall."
A deep area of low pressure crossing the south of the UK will produce a multi-hazard event through Thursday and into Friday. The Met Office has issued a rare 'danger to life' red wind warning for the Isles of Scilly and much of Cornwall as gusts of 100mph or more are forecast. Winds will rapidly increase on Thursday evening, lasting 2–3 hours before easing. The Cabinet Office issued emergency alerts to compatible mobile phones, with the first sent at about 3pm to the Isles of Scilly and a second around 5pm to Cornwall. An Amber warning for snow covers Wales, the Midlands and parts of northern England, and significant disruption and damaging winds are expected.
