INILAH SAAT yang menakutkan ketika sebuah pesawat harus membatalkan pendaratan karena angin kencang akibat Badai Clodagh melanda daratan Inggris dengan anging kencang berkecepatan lebih 100 km per jam.
Para pengamat cuaca memperkirakan daratan Inggris akan dilanda banjir dan salju, yang diperkirakan datang bersamaan pada hari ini.
Hujan deras tiada henti mengakibatkan banjir di beberapa wilayah seperti banjir di daerah-daerah seperti York, satu hari setelah badai mengakibatkan pohon-pohon tumbang dan merusak rumah-rumah serta banyak mobil.
Di Kent, seorang pria berusia 50 tahunan tewas setelah berjalan ke laut untuk mencoba dan menyelamatkan anjingnya yang tenggelam setelah terseret ombak. Anjing tersebut hingga kini masih hilang.
Dan di Tyneside, kapal feri harus ditunda berlayar selama sepuluh jam setelah mesinnya dihantaam ombak dan hanyut ke sungai sementara para kru berjuang untuk mengendalikan kapal feri kembali ke pelabuhan.
Cuaca buruk, mengakibatkan penerbangan harus dibatalkan setelah memperkirakan Wales akan dilanda hujan lebat berhari-hari, dan berlangsung hingga Tahun Baru, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
THIS IS the terrifying moment a plane had to abort its landing due to high winds as Storm Clodagh continues to batter Britain with 60mph gusts.
Forecasters also expect the country to be hit by up to four inches of rain and seven inches of snow, with more of the same to come tomorrow.
Sustained rainfall has caused flooding in areas such as York, one day after huge storms left trees uprooted and damaged houses and cars.
In Kent, a man in his 50s died after running into the sea to try and rescue his dog only to drown in the high waves. The animal is still missing.
And in Tyneside, a ferry was delayed for ten hours after it broke from its mooring and drifted in a river while the crew fought to get it back under control.
The bad weather, which has cancelled flights and trains and seen Wales hit by a month's worth of rain in a day, will hang around until the New Year.
