THIS is the shocking moment a flying shed swept up in Storm Eowyn almost hit a mum and daughter. Louise Haggarty was leaving her house in Wrexham, North Wales, to take nine-year-old Lily to school on Friday. A neighbour's CCTV camera captured footage of the metal structure hurling through the air.

It shows the pair leaving their Caia Park home before going to their car parked a few yards away. Seconds later, a shed from across the street crashes just outside Louise's front gate. She said: "I was taking my daughter to school due to the wind being so bad.

"If we had come out of the house seconds later the shed would of hit us both. "Watching the CCTV back its made me so sad and upset to think we could have been seriously hurt. "People need to be very careful when going out. I feel so lucky we were unharmed.".

Rail services, flights and ferries have been cancelled across the country as rare red weather warnings are in place on Friday in Scotland.
