Moment passenger plane veers off runway as Storm Boelo battered Britain with two killed by falling trees, tens of thousands without power and travel chaos

Dramatic footage captured the moment a passenger plane skidded off the runway at Birmingham Airport during Storm Boelo. Holidaymakers braced for impact as the jet veered across the tarmac in the winds which battered Britain over the weekend. Two men were killed by falling trees and thousands of properties are still without power after two storms hit Britain in three days. Winds of up to 85mph and heavy downpours wreaked havoc over the weekend, with travel disrupted and an estimated 160,000 homes across the country left without power. A man in his 20s was pronounced dead after a tree fell on to a moving car in north London on Sunday, while a 60-year-old man died after he was hit by a falling tree in Dumfries and Galloway, western Scotland. Two women were also taken to hospital after they were struck by another falling tree in Aberfeldy, Perth and Kinross. Meanwhile a French couple and their 13-year-old daughter said they were 'lucky to be alive' after a falling tree crushed their car near Loch Ness. Sandrine Dominici, 54, said: 'We wanted to have a chance to see some traditional Highland cows for our daughter because we hadn't managed to see any so far on our holiday. 'When we were arriving, maybe around 200 metres from the farm, we just saw what looked like a big Christmas tree coming down across the road on top of us. 'My husband was driving. He thought we could brake before it hit, but it was too late. Three came down on the front of the car and the airbags activated. 'We have been lucky actually because a second or split-second more and it was on our heads.' Another family said they feared a bomb had exploded when a large tree crashed through the roof of their home in Southampton on Saturday. The tree struck the roof of the house and left three holes in it and a large crack, as well as shattering several windows. Hundreds of miles away from the eye of Storm Boelo, two people were taken to hospital in Streatham, south London, yesterday after a large section of scaffolding was brought down by strong winds.

A yellow weather warning for wind comes into force tomorrow at 3am Waves pond the Porthcawl coastline in Cornwall during Storm Boelo with fears a third storm could be on the horizon A couple take cover as waves crash over the promenade in Largs in North Ayshire, Scotland, during Storm Boelo And Britons have been warned to brace for more rain today. The Met Office predicts that rain will once again 'sweep across the north-east' of Britain on Monday, while Tuesday will remain 'windy with rain'. Storm Chloe is the next available name on the 2026-27 storm list and, should the weather intensify enough to trigger an amber or red warning, the Met Office will officially declare that the third storm of the season has hit. A Yellow warning for wind has been issued for the west of England and parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Environment Agency early on Monday issued 10 flooding warnings and 65 alerts for where flooding is possible. Scottish First Minister John Swinney expressed his condolences for two people who died as a result of Storm Boelo over the weekend. In a post on X, the First Minister said: 'My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the two people who have tragically lost their lives as a result of Storm Boelo. 'My thoughts are with all those affected by the damage and I thank the emergency services working through the night to keep people safe.' A yellow weather warning for wind covering Scotland, the North East and North West, and Northern Ireland is in place from tomorrow at 3am until 9pm after Storm Boelo pummelled the north of the UK, bringing 84mph gusts and a third of a month's rain to pockets of Scotland. Power cuts hit 838,700 British properties during Boelo and its predecessor by hours, Storm Austen. By 7pm on Sunday, 90,600 customers were still without power, said the Energy Networks Association, which represents operators in the UK and Ireland. Britain is currently bracing itself for more wild weather today, with rain set to 'sweep across the north-east'. Met Office forecaster Aidan McGivern said: 'It's a very similar situation to Boelo on Monday and Tuesday. 'In other words, the strongest winds expected to affect northern parts of the UK are expected to arrive on Tuesday. 'Risks of 70mph wind gusts, yellow warning in force, but of course we'll be watching this one very closely.' Strong winds wreaked havoc over the weekend with a tree crashing through the roof of a home in Southampton, Hampshire, while a family was watching television. It left three holes and a large crack, and a 16-year-old boy was showered in glass, but no one was seriously injured. Mother-of-two Aman Kaur, 45, said: 'Suddenly we thought it was a bomb. The glass and the noise were shocking.' Marc Dominici, 62, Sandrine Dominici, 54, and their 13-year-old daughter Gabrielle were driving near Foyers village near Loch Ness on Sunday Morning when powerful gusts suddenly uprooted a tree. As Mr Dominici braked sharply, the full weight of the trunk and branches smashed onto the bonnet, smothering the vehicle in branches. It is understood the road has now been cleared, while the French number-plated car has been declared a write-off. And in Cornwall a passerby was attacked by a man on Polzeath beach when he tried to warn a family against entering the sea during Storm Austen. A witness, who asked not to be named, told Cornwall Live: 'I was just at Polzeath Beach and witnessed a family with young children enter the red-flagged beach. 'A passerby then approached them and the father of the family proceeded to punch him in the face. The passer-by walked off after the altercation and a few minutes after the lifeguards on the beach asked the family to leave.' Mr Swinney met senior politicians, emergency teams and forecasters on Sunday to discuss the ongoing response to the weather, amid warnings that similar conditions will return early this week. After the meeting Stuart Wilson, of Transport Scotland, said 'significant recovery work' is required before the network returns to normal. Scottish Social Justice and Housing Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said: 'While we expect some respite from the adverse weather during the day on Monday, there is a possibility of more severe weather conditions early on in the week and we urge everyone to continue to follow advice and heed any warnings.' A yellow Met Office warning for strong winds and potentially damaging gusts is in place from 3am on Tuesday to midnight for the far north of England, Scotland and the far north-east of Northern Ireland. King George V Park in Glasgow's southside was flooded by the overnight rainfall during Storm Boelo A fishing boat is stranded at Irvine Harbour in Ayrshire after coming loose from its moorings when Storm Boelo passed through the area Footage showed floodwater coursing around the town of Largs, North Ayrshire, on Sunday. Staff at Thai restaurant Tha-Tien-Thai shared a video of their kitchen overrun by water with the caption: 'There is nothing left.' It closed its doors for the foreseeable future 'due to larger flood restoration than originally planned'. Dangerous buildings in Ayr, south-west Scotland, were evacuated by police, as well as a caravan park in Ballantrae, around 33 miles away. Emergency services were called to a flooded care home in Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, on Sunday evening. Police Scotland said everyone at the care home was accounted for, local road closures were in place and officers were expected to remain on site overnight to assist. Some flights were diverted from landing at Leeds Bradford Airport and others were cancelled. On Sunday evening Northern Powergrid, which distributes electricity across Yorkshire and the North East, said 13,000 customers in the region were expected to be without power beyond Sunday night. The energy company added electricity had already been restored to 102,000 customers. Train journeys were also disrupted. Network Rail Scotland shared an image of flooding from the tracks to the platform in one Glasgow station and fallen trees above the lines near another. Speed restrictions were in place across Scotland and several sections of its railways closed, the operator added. It came after Network Rail posted photographs of a trampoline beneath a train and a shed by the tracks, in a call for those living near rail lines to firmly secure their garden furniture. Collapsed trees, cables on carriageways, strong winds and damaged surfaces prompted closures to major roads in Scotland. Storm Boelo followed Storm Austen, which brought strong winds to southern parts of the UK on Friday. Gusts of 76mph were recorded at St Mary's Airport in the Isles of Scilly, with 74mph at Aberporth in South Wales and 71mph at Culdrose in Cornwall. Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said it is hard to compare storm to storm because they affect different areas and 'if a branch falls on your car in one, then you're probably going to feel like that one was the worst storm ever'. Storm Amy brought a gust of about 92mph and more than 100mm of rain to similar parts of the UK last year, which appears more severe than these two, he pointed out. Storms often happen in quick succession, Mr Snell said, adding Bert, Conall and Darragh appeared in about one week in 2024. 'If the atmosphere is ripe for storm, it tends to mean it's ripe for a couple of storms, so it is a fairly common thing,' he said. The looming low pressure system does not appear as potent as Austen and Boelo. There were no current plans to name it as of Sunday afternoon but it will bring further wet and windy weather, Mr Snell said. The country can expect a return to more dry and settled conditions after that, he added. The Environment Agency early on Monday issued ten warnings that flooding is expected and 65 alerts where it is possible. And the Scottish Environment Protection Agency said ten flood warnings and 11 flood alerts were in place, while Natural Resources Wales reported nine flood alerts were active at the same time.
