The Civil Protection in Iceland has issued a statement warning people in South Iceland to stay put after 12 noon and people in Reykjavik and all other parts of Iceland to stay put after 5 pm this afternoon. The magnitude of the approaching storm is so great that such conditions occur only every 10 to 20 years, reports The Iceland Civil Protection.
As we reported last night, the Iceland Met Office has issued a warning for hurricane force winds hitting Iceland today. All rescue teams and the Iceland Civil Protection are on high alert today.
It should also be noted that on the map below, the yellow to brown areas indicate winds of 90 mph and hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey at 80 mph.
People should also be advised that there is a possibility of power cuts, and also on today's checklist is making sure there are no loose objects in your garden or on your balcony.
