by

Three people have died in one of the worst storms to hit the UK in decades.

Strong winds from Hurricane Younis uprooted trees, flattened cars and killed a 30-year-old woman in London, a 20-year-old man in Hampshire and a 50-year-old man in Merseyside.

Another death was recorded in Ireland.

The wind speed reached a record in England reaching 122 miles / hour, while the storm closed schools, cut off travel and tore roofs.

About 400,000 homes have been without power since Friday night.

According to British media, this is the worst storm in 32 years.

Five people died in other parts of Europe.

The coastal areas of south-west England and south Wales, along with south-east England, had been put on alert following rare “red” weather warnings issued by the Met Office early Friday.
