To7day on Newsround - one of the wildest days of weather | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
in decades. The man who wants to make the World | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Cup bigger, and the new technology that let's you fly like a pigeon. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Let's start with the very latest on the biggest storm to hit the UK in | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
your lifetime. Winds of almost 00 miles an hour have been recorded as | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
hurricane force gales battered parts of southern England. In the last few | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
minutes, it's been confirmed for people have been killed, and more | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
than 250,000 homes are left without power. Hundreds of you have been in | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
touch on the Newsround website to tell us what you've seen and how | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
you've been affected. The dramatic images of devastation. | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
Taken and witnessed by some of you. Through the bedroom window, I could | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
hear a loud crash. In the morning, I came down and had a look. The wall | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
had fallen -- a tree had fallen on to the house. It had taken out a | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
street lamp. As hurricane force winds made their way in from the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
coast this morning, Frankie was one of the thousands of people across | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Southern England who woke up to fallen trees, mangled cranes and | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
even overturned buses. This morning at 8am, we were hit quite badly by | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
the storm, and loads of trees fell down in our driveway. It was quite | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
scary, as you can see. Emma lives in one of the 250,000 homes left | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
without power. When I woke up this morning, it was pitch black. One I | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
turn on the light, it kept flickering on and off. All I could | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
see out the window was up in the tree, and the branch had snapped. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Three people have been confirmed as dead. Several others are unaccounted | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
for, as winds that reached up to 99 mph tore up more than | :02:08. | :02:10. | |

for, as winds that reached up to 99 brought trains, planes and roads to | :02:12. | :02:12. | |

have been very bad. You don't normally see them. Five or seven | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
years ago was the last time we saw a storm of a similar sort of strength | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
affecting the UK, so it was quite a restaurant, and it hit quite a big | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
part of southern England. The worst of the storm had moved on by late | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
morning, but the emergency services and families in the badly hit areas | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
will continue to count the costs. Thank you for sending those in. The | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
storm has now headed off across the North Sea and into mainland Europe. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
The worst weather for us is over. We went to one of the areas hit really | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
hard by the storm. The devastating effect of St Jude | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
has been felt in this street. This is a normal street with normal | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
people going about their daily business. Earlier this morning, one | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
tree fell on to a property, and it is thought that that might have | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
caused a gas explosion and impacted on two other homes. This morning I | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
was sleeping, and we felt the ground shake. We heard a bang and I was | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
really scared, so we ran downstairs. Looking out the window, we saw they | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
had been an explosion. Everything was ruined. The emergency services | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
have been here all day trying to make sure that people are safe and | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
OK, that we have heard that two people have sadly died. More than 20 | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
people have been evacuated to the local nursing home, and it is | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
thought they will stay there overnight. In other parts of the UK, | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
people are going to be starting to clear up and make sure they can get | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
back to their daily business, but on this street, it is going to be quite | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
difficult for life to go back to normal. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
That was Hounslow in west London. The number of teams playing in the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
World Cup finals could be The number of teams playing in the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |

from 32 to 40. Ahead of European the best way of getting more African | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and Asian science involved. Sepp Blatter, head of FIFA, suggested | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
reducing the number of European teams involved, which could impact | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
the English team and other home nations. The latest in 3D technology | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
is the pigeon simulator. It is the brainchild of researchers at | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
University College London. It uses motion sensors and live data feeds | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
to help people navigate their way through streets in the English | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
capital. Get me one of those! That's all from me for now, but I | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
will be back this evening. Head over to the Newsround website | :05:01. | :05:01. |
