0:00:15 > 0:00:18Let's get straight to our top story, and a

0:00:18 > 0:00:22huge Hurricane which landed in Florida in the USA last night.

0:00:22 > 0:00:22It has been causing problems for people

0:00:23 > 0:00:25who live there.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29Hurricane Hermeen hit overnight, many people had to

0:00:29 > 0:00:32stay indoors after putting up shutters to protect their windows.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Schools have been closed today.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36The high winds and heavy rain have caused

0:00:36 > 0:00:38flooding in some areas.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Over the last few hours Hurricane Hermeen has

0:00:41 > 0:00:47been downgraded to a tropical storm, which means the winds are weaker.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50350 years ago today the Great Fire of London started,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53destroying parts of the city.

0:00:53 > 0:00:59To mark the anniversary, a model replica of London will be burned,

0:00:59 > 0:01:01and new stamps have been designed.

0:01:01 > 0:01:07Jenny's been finding out what happened.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09London in 1666.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Charles II would have been your monarch.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14This is what you would have been wearing.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Your house would probably have been made out of wood.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20There was no fire brigade, and chances are someone

0:01:20 > 0:01:24you know had had a deadly disease called the Plague.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Then on the 2nd of September, life like this changed for ever.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33A spark from a baker's oven on Pudding Lane lit a fire,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36and the combination of strong wind, closely built homes and a warm

0:01:36 > 0:01:39summer meant it quickly roared through the streets of London,

0:01:39 > 0:01:43tearing up the timber-framed houses.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Eight out of every ten buildings were destroyed,

0:01:45 > 0:01:50including 13,000 houses and 87 churches.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Six people were reported to have died and more than 70,000

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Six people were reported to have died and more than 70,000

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Londoners were left homeless.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00But the catastrophe also meant a new beginning.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02It cleared the way for a brand-new city with better, cleaner buildings,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05made out of stone, and the first organised fire service.
