The Storm Is Now So Large It Has Literally Turned The Sky In England Bright Red

So we're all braced for ex-Hurricane Ophelia to hit us and it is now even stretching over into the UK.

People across England and Wales have been freaking out as the skies have turned orange and yellow with the sun going bright red...

Hey! So currently here in the U.K. We have a hurricane but what's weird is that the sun is red. Apparently it's dust but what do you think? pic.twitter.com/686ENevVtG

The Met Office is investigating the phenomenon - but experts have suggested it's all because of dust from the Sahara, and forest fires in Spain and Portugal.
