Storm Bert sparks travel chaos with nearly 200 flood warnings issued
Nearly 200 flood warnings remain in place across the UK, sparking travel chaos after Storm Bert hit all four corners of the country.
The Met Office issued a new yellow weather warning across parts of Scotland last night and into this morning for wind.
While the worst of the weather may be over, Storm Bert will continue to disrupt today after torrential downpours caused “devastating” flooding over the weekend.
Hundreds of homes were left underwater, roads were turned into rivers and winds of up to 82mph were recorded across the UK.
A major incident was declared in South Wales after flooding affected dozens of homes, businesses, and schools.
Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan said it had been “a really difficult weekend”. More than 180 flood warnings remain in place including a “danger to life” warning in Nottinghamshire.
At least four people have died since it hit – but it is not clear if these are all directly related to the storm.
