For example, those traveling by rail have been advised to avoid traveling by train.
Rating warnings are milder than red. For example, some disruption to traffic is expected.
150 local flood warnings have been issued. In many places, flood gates have been opened to smooth out runoff and reduce flood rises.
At most, another million households without electricity
A total of 1.4 million households in the British Isles were without electricity. The lines have been repaired and there are now about 58,000 non-electricity households.
During the weekend and the weekend, at least 16 people died in storm-related accidents in the British Isles and continental Europe. Fallen trees are still being repaired in many places out of the way of traffic. Floods have also caused severe moisture damage to buildings.
