An easyJet plane had to abort its landing because of the wind while people have been rescued from flooding and the roof was blown off a house
Storm Agnes has hit the UK with gale force winds, floods and power outages after battering Ireland. The first named storm of the season drummed up a high of 79mph winds in Capel Curig, a village in Wales, on Wednesday evening.
The UK has experienced flooding, travel disruption and power outages. A woman had to be rescued from her car in Co Londonderry, Northern Ireland, after it was trapped by floodwater. But the Met Office said the main impact on the UK has been strong winds. Meteorologist Dan Stroud told the PA news agency that gusts are starting to ease in England and Wales.
Ireland, where Agnes first made landfall, saw flooding and travel disruption, with fallen trees blocking roads and flights and ferries also being affected. A roof was blown off a building in Co Cork.
