Residents across Lancashire have been warned to batten down the hatches with the arrival of Storm Agnes at midday today (Wednesday September 27).

With a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office, people were advised of the possible effects of strong and disruptive winds.

But by teatime the storm had not been as severe as anticipated.

In the Blackpool area, Agnes brought a moderate wind and was accompanied by a brief shower, but no more than that.
