LONDONStorm Ciara lashed Britain with heavy rain and winds of more than 90 mph (145 km/hour) on Feb. 9, forcing the cancellations of flights, train services, and sports matches.

More than 200 flood warnings were issued across the country by authorities, including one severe warning in Yorkshire, England, where water was predicted to overflow flood defenses and potentially threaten lives.
