Have been to Iceland many times and experienced storms there but nothing on the level to what's forecast for tomorrow. 

The winds in Iceland are on a different level to what we are used to here. Check out a short video from when we got stuck for nearly 6 hours in February 2018. Its was crazy. Tomorrow will be a very interesting day in Iceland.

Amazing images as always BFT! 

Interesting times ahead, hope there are no casualties but it seems almost certain there will be.

Recent METAR (21z) for Akuyeri airport shows 330 (NNW) 28 knots (nearby location is 41G58kn) in mod snow vis 1.4 km. _ at 22z this also stayed similar with vis 1.1 km.
