Per <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/pilots-skill-captured-as-they-land-a380-plane-sideways-in-storm-dennis-at-heathrow-11935729?fbclid=IwAR0DhFEFlIWhIvmdGSuQskGDtgEwE1Xm63OTR0vmK3uJxnYD9C8WK0oaXWY">Sky News</a>, the Etihad Airbus A380, which is flown by two pilots, can be seen appearing to hover just above the ground as it attempted to land on Saturday in the midst of Storm Dennis. Powerful wind gusts of up to 50mph were recorded at London Heathrow airport on Saturday, causing numerous flights to be canceled.

Meanwhile, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51526879">reports</a> that the threat of flooding still remains after Storm Dennis battered parts of the United Kingdom this weekend. More than 200 flood warnings are in place. Travel routes have also been disrupted as a result of the weather, with some train lines and A-roads closed or disrupted.

Chief meteorologist Andy Page said; "Further rain will arrive on Wednesday evening and this is likely to become prolonged and possibly heavy over areas of high ground. For example, there is a chance that 60mm of rain could fall in parts of south Wales over 24 hours. With the ground already saturated there is a chance of further flooding, members of the public should check their flood risk and stay up to date with flood warnings from <a href="https://naturalresources.wales/splash?orig=%2f&lang=cy">Natural Resources Wales</a>, <a href="https://www.sepa.org.uk/">SEPA</a>, <a href="https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/check-the-risk-of-flooding-in-your-area">NI Direct</a> and the <a href="https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/warnings">Environment Agency</a>.” Storm Dennis hit the UK just days after Storm Ciara, making it the fourth named storm of the season, <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/pilots-skill-captured-as-they-land-a380-plane-sideways-in-storm-dennis-at-heathrow-11935729?fbclid=IwAR0DhFEFlIWhIvmdGSuQskGDtgEwE1Xm63OTR0vmK3uJxnYD9C8WK0oaXWY">Sky News</a> writes.
