one flight came from bordeaux to gatwick here and had two attempted landings at gatwick before the pilot took the view it was just too dangerous. that flight left gatwick, returned to bordeaux, and was cancelled. will we see some more of those? it s quite possible. we haven t seen the last of this storm yet, and lots of disruption still to take place, i imagine. what s it like on the roads? joining me now is rod dennis from the rac. what is the picture on the roads? actually, it is not a bad picture. there is some damage occurring trees fallen, a difficult situation out there, but from what we can tell at there, but from what we can tell at the rac a good number of drivers have followed the weather advice that has run throughout this week and decided not to travel today. i
