Do not leave pets outside in the strong winds which are expected to roll in shortly as Storm Ciara batters the UK and Ireland.
Exposed hills and coasts could see winds of up to 80mph while gusts of 50 to 60mph are expected across inland areas.
Secure your trampoline, wheelie bins and bring potted plants inside today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday).
The Met Office expects 20 to 40mm of rain to fall across Northern Ireland, with up to 80mm on higher ground.
Coastal areas are likely to be battered by high waves and there is a potential for flooding.
On mainland Britain, 90mph hurricane-force winds are expected. The weather bomb is set to cause road, rail and ferry disruption, as well as flight cancellations this weekend.
The previous storm named Brendan led to power cuts affecting thousands of householders, while part of the sea wall at Carrickfergus collapsed.

#StormCiara will produce some of the strongest gusts of wind we've seen so widely across the UK in several years. Gusts of 80mph or even higher are likely around the coasts on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/X0fX3qHtXo
