Reporting at its best...

'This could be worst storm this century'
Storm Ciara threatens to be the worst of the century, the Met Office said today, Robert Mendick reports.
The scale of the storm - with amber warnings across all of Wales and most of England - make it the most widespread for years, although it's full toll will not be known until it begins to blow itself out from tonight.
The storm hit Britain today on the back of a Gulf Stream that is travelling at 265 miles per hour. The speed of the Gulf Stream is as fast it has ever been, said the Met Office.

A British Airways flight has broken the record for a subsonic flight from London to New York, Flightrader24, an online flight tracking service is reporting.

(Actually Flightradar reported the record as being from New York to London!)
