Storm "Dennis" rages in England: two people die
Storm "Dennis" in the UK may be responsible for the deaths of two people over the weekend. On the south east coast of England, a teenage young man was rescued lifeless from the sea on Saturday. As the British media report, the angry storm could have put him in need and killed him.
Also in the southeast of the country, a man fell from a tanker off the Kent coast. After hours of searching, he could only be recovered dead. "Dennis" is said to last from Saturday to Sunday evening and could also cause considerable damage.
"Dennis" in Great Britain: Experts anticipate dire consequences
According to experts, during the storm, it could rain as much in a day or two days as it usually does in a month. This is particularly critical with regard to the fact that in many places the ground is still softened by the last storm. The country is therefore expecting even more serious consequences than last weekend. These include floods that could potentially affect hundreds of homes.
Hundreds of UK flights were canceled over the weekend due to the severe storm. Tens of thousands of passengers had to do without their flights, including from the airlines Easyjet and British Airways. There were also disruptions to rail traffic and the streets on Saturday.
