Britain battles the fallout from Storm Dennis after the second severe storm in seven days leaves one dead over the weekend
A man uses a plank of wood to paddle a kayak on flood water after the River Wye burst its banks in Ross-on-Wye, western England, on February 17, 2020, in the aftermath of Storm Dennis.
The storm also pummelled much of France, with some 20,000 people without electricity on Monday after suffering power cuts in the northwest. In northern England, the Defence Ministry deployed troops in West Yorkshire, which had also been hit by flooding from last weekend's Storm Ciara.Newly appointed environment secretary, George Eustice, said the government had done "everything that we can do with a significant sum of money" to combat increased flooding.
Youth climate activists gathering for a national conference in Staffordshire, west central England, were forced to cancel the event because of the storm. Meanwhile the bodies of two men were pulled from rough seas off the south coast of England on Saturday as the storm barrelled in.
