Storm Henk recapped: Tempest causes destruction across UK
Storm Henk battered the UK today - and killed at least one person.
The tempest knocked down trees, one of which crushed a woman, and caused travel chaos on the road and railways. Rivers flooded and families, including those on a large caravan park, were evacuated from their homes. A woman was crushed by a falling tree in Orpington, Kent, at around 3pm, the emergency services said.
Hundreds of people were evacuated from caravans at the holiday park in Northamptonshire, the River Severn has flooded in Worcester and other waterways have become saturated after heavy rainfall. South Western Railway (SWR) is urging people not to travel on its services due to the severe weather. Thameslink has urged passengers not to travel unless absolutely necessary. More than 100,000 power supplies have been reconnected during the course of the day.
