There’s been no questioning in the severity of Eunice, with loss of life and several injuries reported on Friday.
And the full impact of the storm was on display at Spurs’ £1.2billion stadium.
Captured by Channel 4 reporter Paul McNamara, a video visibly showed the roof of the stadium moving up and down because of the wind.
Thankfully, there was no cause for concern for Spurs fans.
The stadium is specially designed to deal with extreme conditions, with a cable net structure in place allowing movement.

On their website, the engineers of the roof, Schlaich Bergermann Partner, discussed how the ground has been designed.
“The outer south facade, composed of aluminium panels, is supported by the main roof structure,” it read.
“Acting as an interface between stadium superstructure and roof structure, the facade is designed to compensate for large movements.”
As Spurs are travelling to the Premier League champions, Manchester City, on Saturday, a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT, their ground will not be in action this weekend.
