Enormous waves churned across the North Atlantic on Saturday as Britain braces for a second straight weekend of wild winter weather and flooding.
Waves crash over Blackpool waterfront in England, Monday, Feb. 10, 2020. Storm Ciara battered the U.K. and northern Europe with hurricane-force winds and heavy rains Sunday, halting flights and trains and producing heaving seas that closed down ports. Propelled by the fierce winds, a British Airways plane was thought to have made the fastest New York-to-London flight by a conventional airliner.
Hurricane-force winds up to 80 knots and monster waves that could reach over 100 feet high were roaring across North Atlantic, the U.S. National Weather Service's Ocean Prediction Center reported early Saturday. The fourth storm of the winter season, dubbed Dennis, is already causing widespread travel disruptions. Airlines have pre-emptively canceled hundreds of flights out of London and other U.K. airports and train lines have warned about possible delays and cancellations. Tens of thousands of passengers will be affected on what is a busy travel day for families as most schools in the country close for a one-week mid-winter break.
Easyjet has already cancelled around 230 flights in and out of the country as wind speeds are set to hit 70 mph . British Airways has also cancelled flights.
