The strongest September storm to hit the UK in over 30 years has caused widespread flooding and wind damage across the British archipelago. Meteorologists gave warning to UK residents of winds to 70 miles per hour along the southeast coast of England and rains totaling 3 inches in parts. The storm made landfall on Monday and made its way north to Scotland also bringing heavy rains with damaging winds there. One death was blamed on this storm when a woman was hit by a falling tree branch near London on Sunday. Experts say the storm formed near the Azores last week and might have gotten a boost of energy from former Hurricane Nadine, which was weaking over the mid Atlantic. Motorists should take precaution on the roads and are advised not to take on flooded roads.
