Britain prepares for storm Dennis: British teenager killed on Saturday after drifting into the sea in southern England, due to huge waves in the area, the Daily Mail reports.

The boy arrived on the scene to watch the huge waves caused by the storm "Dennis" coming to the shores of Britain - and expected to be one of the kingdom's worst known and swept away by them. The concern in the UK is that the boy will not be Dennis's latest victim, who is expected to cause heavy damage to the kingdom.

It is estimated that at the height of the storm, winds would be blowing at about 110 mph and falling 12 inches of rain - more than the lift disaster that occurred in Tel Aviv, when 14 flood warnings and 140 possible flood warnings were issued.

Due to the danger of flooding, the British army sent troops to help prepare and flood areas, and they could also help in the event of a rescue.

Some areas have already been hit by the storm Kiara - which hit the area earlier this month, and the concern is for infrastructure collapse in those areas. Due to the situation, airlines operating in the United Kingdom have already canceled over 230 flights on and off the island, and car rental companies have also announced cancellation of lines in flood-prone areas.
