Hurricane Ophelia batters UK

Hurricane Ophelia batters UK
A stadium damaged in Ireland by Hurricane Orphelia

Hurricane Ophelia is sweeping havoc across Britain after claiming three lives in Ireland ‑ where it also left 120,000 homes without power, ripped roofs off buildings and forced flights to land.

A woman in her 50s died when her car was struck by a falling tree, while another tree killed a man, and a man in his 30s was killed in a chainsaw accident.

What could be its worst storm in 56 years then caused havoc as it battered Wales and the west of England, and it is now moving its way across the UK.

Some 130 flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport, while flights were also grounded at Manchester Airport.
