The storm was blamed for at least three deaths. A 17-year-old girl who was riding in a sport utility vehicle that was swept away by a flooded river in Wales died in a hospital after being rescued, The Independent reported.

In the early morning, a young couple died when their car hit a tree in Plymouth in Devon, The Daily Mail reported.

About 2 inches of rain were recorded in Wales, the area hardest hit by flooding, The Independent said. Serious flooding was also reported in the Forest of Dean and other areas in Gloucestershire.

Winds of up to 60 mph were measured in many areas.

The Environment Agency warned that more flooding could be expected as rain drained from ground already saturated into rivers.
