Floods, hurricanes, blizzards and there is more to come
Britain faced more severe gales after the worst storm of the winter battered the country yesterday.! Hurricanes reaching 82mph cut the power to more than 10,000 homes and caused widespread transport chaos and flooding across the country. Conditions were set worsen last night as the storms second surge hit Britain. !!! The Met Office also gave warning that a third storm would strike large areas of England, Northern Ireland, North Wales and the Midlands late tonight. This could cause even greater disruption because it will occur over a wider land area. The Bristol Channel, Severn Estuary and Somerset coast are deemed most at risk of flooding but almost all of England is expected to suffer gales of up to 80mph today. Well, that is another vacation destination that is off the list. Head for the Carribien folks! Yesterdays storm hit Cornwall and Devon before sweeping east across England and Wales. More than 100 flights were cancelled as 50mph winds hit Heathrow. Rail services were disrupted and roads around southern England were made impassable. 100 flights cancelled at Heathrow is UNUSUAL?
