Flight Delays And Cancellations As Storm Katie Batters The UK

If you are or have been planning to travel to or from the UK today, you may be at the mercy of Storm Katie. More than one hundred flights in and out of both Heathrow and Gatwick airports have been cancelled due to the terrible weather conditions. Storm Katie has brought gale-force winds and heavy rain to large parts of southern and central England, with the UK Met Office issuing Amber weather warnings to the areas. Damage to property is widespread and electricity supply has been cut off in some areas.
