Hello from the Herald team on a much blustery than normal Saturday.

We’ll be doing our best to keep readers updates of all the road closures, fallen trees and latest news from our around our patch today as Storm Darragh batters the country.

There’s already been some serious damage in Bordon as gale force winds have lifted roofs of a garage block, scattering debris across the road.

Multiple festive events and sporting fixtures have also been cancelled with travel being generally advised against.
