Two men die as Storm Dennis hits Northern England
People watch waves pound against the harbour wall at Porthcawl in Wales, as Storm Dennis sweeps across the country, Saturday February 15, 2020.
Rescuers pulled two male bodies from rough seas off the coast of southeast England and military personnel mobilised to help build flood barriers on Saturday as a second straight weekend of stormy weather wreaked havoc across Britain. The fourth named storm of the season, dubbed Dennis by Britain's Met Office weather service, prompted widespread travel disruptions and had the potential to cause more damage than last weekend's Storm Ciara given the already saturated ground in much of the country.
The body of one man was pulled out of the sea by a lifeboat from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and followed a seven-hour search that involved a Royal Navy vessel. The search commenced before dawn after a distress call came from the B Gas Margrethe, a Maltese tanker that had been anchored off the coastal town of Margate. Police said they were trying to establish the man's identity.
In a separate incident, the body of a second man was pulled from the sea in the afternoon. Authorities said the death was not being treated as suspicious.Here is a look back at the weather from Saturday 👇
