London, February 10 (RHC)-- Britain is bracing itself for worst storm in a quarter of a century, with strong gales and enormous waves set to batter the country's coastlines.
According to meteorologists, the so-called Mega Storm Charlie would likely be hitting the country more intensely than the Great Storm of 1987. 

“Gales across England and Wales, severe across southwest and southern coasts with winds of up to 80 mph have been detected, accompanied by up to 1.6 inches (40 mm) of rain,” announced the Met Office.

The Met Office has already issued severe weather warnings for the UK with flood warnings given to large areas of the country.  The Environment Agency has also issued a warning of a 'significant risk' of flooding on the coasts of Devon, Devonshire, Cornwall, and southwest England, with the issued warnings spreading as far north as Hull.
