Storm Dennis wrecks havoc across UK

A man has died after falling into the River Tawe in South Wales as three major incidents have been declared.
A multi-agency response has been triggered as rescuers battle to get to victims by helicopter and boat.
Major incidents have also been declared in Hereford and Worcester.
Storm Dennis has also meant the Environment Agency declared the highest number of flood warnings and alerts on a single day in England.
