U.K. All Wet


Fourteen flood warnings are in place across England as a powerful storm moves across the UK, causing widespread travel disruption and power cuts.

On Monday, gale force winds and heavy rain affected roads, rail and air travel, while almost 12,000 homes are without power.

More bad weather is expected in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Environment Agency say the Bristol Channel, Severn Estuary and the Somerset coast are most at risk.

High tides along the south west, southern and west coasts will peak by midnight GMT.

A spokeswoman for the Environment Agency said: "The situation has now improved along parts of the south west and southern coasts."
