El sur de Gales, en el Reino Unido es afectado por la Tormenta Dennis, que también azota a parte de Irlanda. El Gobierno del Reino Unido ha evacuado las casas con 330 advertencias de inundaciones en todo el país y dos advertencias severas en toda Gales.
Las areas afectadas son Pontypridd, Taff’s Well y Nantgarw en Rhondda Cynon Taff. La alerta significa que existe un «peligro para la vida» y cubre nueve áreas del consejo, incluido Neath Port Talbot.
Un hombre fue encontrado muerto en un río cuando las inundaciones y los deslizamientos de tierra afectan a zonas del sur de Gales que la policía describió como «un incidente importante».
APPEAL – A male has fallen into the river at #Ystradgynlais at approximately 10am this morning and has sadly be found deceased further along the river in the Tebanos area. If you witnessed this incident please can you give us a call on 101.

Not my video, but a scary display of the impact #StormDennis is having on South Wales/Rhondda. This slurry slip is in Tylorstown. This is the same thing that happened in Aberfan pic.twitter.com/okQsK5Vn1Z
