00:00Storm Benjamin is hammering the U.K. right now, and it's bringing chaos you'll definitely want to know about.
00:05The Met Office has issued multiple yellow warnings as Storm Benjamin lashes the U.K. with winds up to 70 miles per hour.
00:12Torrential rain and powerful gusts are sweeping across southern England, eastern Wales, and parts of Yorkshire.
00:18In some areas, up to 50 minutes of rain could fall by nightfall.
00:22Coastal towns like Pevensey have already been drenched with 4D and L.A. in just 24 hours.
00:27Gusts near the coast of Kent and Sussex could peak above 70 mph this afternoon.
00:32Power cuts, flooding, and travel delays are expected, and some buildings may even take damage.
00:38Meanwhile, Europe isn't escaping either.
00:40France, Belgium, and the Netherlands are bracing for worse.
00:43The storm has already forced UEFA to move football matches in the Netherlands hours earlier than planned.
00:49Interestingly, it wasn't the U.K. that named this storm.
00:52It was France, after warnings escalated along their Atlantic coast.
00:55And when one country names a storm, everyone sticks with it.
01:00So even if it's not officially on the U.K. storm list, Benjamin is definitely making his presence felt.
