Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service closed one of the main roads in and out of Liverpool, Scotland Road, due to safety concerns over a derelict building.
The closure led to traffic queuing back to to Everton Valley as three lanes of traffic were diverted.
Pictures taken by ECHO photographer, Colin Lane, show the roof of the derelict building completely missing.
Storm Eunice also claimed one man's life as debris crashed through a van windscreen at Switch Island.
Merseyside Police were called to the area at around 2.10pm on Friday, February 18 following reports of vehicle damage.
Once at the scene police found a man in his 50s, who was a passenger in the van, injured and paramedics attended to care for him. The man was pronounced dead a short time later.
The man driving the van was not injured.
The passenger’s next of kin have been made aware and are being supported by specially trained officers and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
Elsewhere, the storm blew off the roof of Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy, a high school in Runcorn.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service attended the school but the extent of damage inside is unclear.
The Met Office predicts the majority of Storm Eunice's high winds will have passed Liverpool after 11pm on Friday, February 18.
Hour by hour data from the organisations predicts winds will stay between 45 and 30 mph overnight before settling to 16mph at 9am on Saturday.
