Storm Bert brings snow, rain and 70mph winds to UK

Ten people have been rescued following a landslide in North Wales and two people have been killed as Storm Bert brings heavy snowfall, rain and winds of up to 70mph to large parts of Britain.

Thousands of homes have been left without power, flights have been delayed, several major roads closed and public transport affected in what the Met Office called a “multi-hazard event” that posed a danger to life.

Five adults and five children were rescued from the house in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, near Llangollen. A North Wales Fire and Rescue Services spokesman said they are all being assessed by ambulance services away from the scene “somewhere warm”. A further landslide has been reported in the area but it is understood no-one else was affected.
