WARNINGS of deep water flooding causing “danger to life” this weekend have come from the Met Office as Storm Dennis arrives in the UK.
Saturday is expected to be the most hazardous day with yellow warnings for wind and rain covering large swathes of the country.
Dennis, the fourth named storm of the year, is going to push severe gales and heavy rain eastwards.
The Weather Company, the world’s biggest commercial forecaster, said: “Dennis could rival the most intense North Atlantic storms on record.
“The lower the pressure, the more intense the storm, increasing the likelihood of strong winds.”

They added: “Dennis is menacing.”
Storm Dennis is expected to bring delays and cancellations to transport services, damage to power supplies and large coastal waves.
This devastation hits the UK just one week after Storm Ciara which lead to the deaths of three people and wrecked more than 500 homes.
