Storm Eowyn could be one for the history books as it is set to be one of the worst to hit the country since Cyclone Friedhelm - otherwise known as Hurricane Bawbag to us Glaswegians.

STV meteorologist Sean Batty has warned the freak storm could be one for the history books as it is set to be one of the worst to hit the country since Cyclone Friedhelm.

It trended on Twitter, secured its own Wikipedia page and you could even get your hands on clothes emblazoned with its name.

History books will remember it as Friedhelm, but for most of us (and if you’re from Glasgow, there’s no excuse for calling it anything else) it was Hurricane Bawbag.
