A storm Kira blew in.

Most of Britain was battered, the wild weather causing chaos from the coast to the country as strong winds and heavy rains swept through.

They've bean here before in my them roid on the banks of the river colder in West Yorkshire.

This is the third flood in eight years.

The football.

The first thing that happens is the sewers, Phil, open all the manhole covers pop off.

And so the war itself that is saying in the streets is full of all kinds of horrible stuff that nobody wants to be walking around in.

There could be many other contaminants, you know, chemical stuff that's washed off from farms and warehouses in that kind of things.

£40 million was spent on flood defenses here, but they were overwhelmed by the volume of water mounted time.

It's taken him to do anything.

I mean, it's just taken me.

It's four years since the last it should have been done, that hundreds of international and domestic flights were canceled.

Those that weren't faced bumpy rides, this'll be a flight abandoned its landing as winds whipped around the runway.

Touch and go touching God.

Dover Ferry stopped running the seas too rough for crossings, with winds reaching speeds of 97 miles an hour.

He was a struggle to stay standing.

It's quite fun yet, Yeah, hold on.

Oh, basically, for me, it's like this is a lesson, Mother Nature.

Across the UK, hundreds of thousands of homes were hit by power cuts and on the roads.

Dangerous conditions.

A near miss for this lucky passer by in Leeds, while this driver in Bedford share also escaped unhurt.

Sporting events were called off for public safety and royal parks shut for the day on the trains.

Journeys have bean severely disrupted flooded lines in the Northwest course cancellations and further south debris blocked tracks.

Few places escaped Storm Kira.

And while the worst is over, a long and laborious clear up now begins.
