Residents across Devon and Cornwall are bracing themselves for the ferocious weather system, which is about to hit the coast.
This satellite image from Helen Nance at Plymouth University shows the enormity of the storm on its way to the Westcountry.
Gale-force winds and heavy rain could cause serious damage to communities across the region, which are still recovering from an unprecedented succession of heavy weather.
The storm building up in the Atlantic is expected to bring with it some of the biggest waves ever seen in the UK.
The Met Office has issued weather warnings for wind and rain for the next two days and the RNLI is warning people to stay away from the coast.
Will Stephens, RNLI coastal safety staff officer, said: "With more stormy weather forecast, we're asking people to take extra care if they're going down to the coast. Rough seas and extreme weather might look exciting, but getting too close can be risky.
"So respect the water and, in particular, avoid exposed places where big waves could sweep you off your feet."
The storm is expected to hit the South West later tonight and last through Saturday.
