STORM HITS BRITAIN: Britain’s largest storm in a
decade—with hurricane-force winds—battered the southern region of
the country on Monday, killing at least two people and leaving
270,000 without power in London. Falling trees killed a 17-year-old
girl in Kent and a man in Watford. The Environment Agency issued
131 flood warnings in England and Wales, and 130 flights have been
canceled out of Heathrow Airport. Network Rail said more than 100
fallen trees have been found on lines, as the country braced for
chaos on their morning commutes. The strongest winds were recorded
at England’s Isle of Wright, clocking in at 99 mph.
