description: TWO planes abort landings at Birmingham Airport in high winds Two planes are filmed aborting landings as they come in to touch down in high winds at Birmingham International Airport Britain battered by 114mph Arctic storms: Lorry driver killed and 100,000 homes left without power as hurricane-force gusts cause worst coastal surges for SIXTY YEARS More than 180 Environment Agency flood alerts in place in England/Wales Evacuations being discussed with police by EA as it fears lives are at risk Gusts of 114mph on slopes of Aonach Mor near Fort William in Scotland Environment Secretary will chair emergency Cobra meeting on disruption ALL trains cancelled in Scotland with thousands of passengers affected Police Scotland: Don't drive in south, west, central belt, south Perthshire Biggest waves in living memory on north-east coast, peaking on Saturday Public should expect 36-hour period of disruption, Norfolk Police warns The most serious coastal tidal surge for 60 years was predicted today as 114mph winds battered Britain, 20,000 homes were left without power and meteorologists warned lives were at risk. Forecasters fear the worst is yet to come during tonight's high tide at around 10pm as the strong winds and high volumes of water combine to form a 'tidal surge' towards the north east coast. Sea levels could be as high as those during the floods of 1953 that left 307 dead. A lorry driver died today and four other people were injured after an HGV was blown over in Bathgate, West Lothian. The homes without power and 114mph winds were seen in Scotland - as all trains were cancelled and police warned motorists to avoid travelling in the south, west, central belt and south Perthshire. Some 900 staff at Scottish Hydro were working to restore power to houses affected by cuts - most of which are in the Highlands. The area north of Inverness, including Muir of Ord, has been badly hit. The Environment Agency has issued 18 flood alerts for East Anglia, warning of danger to life. Residents in areas such as West Mersea in Essex, and Southwold in Suffolk are likely to be affected. More than 180 flood alerts were in place across England and Wales, with 3,000 homes expected to suffer from flooding in the next 24 hours. The EA is discussing evacuation in 'key areas' with police. In the Highlands of Scotland, gusts of 93mph have been recorded at Altnaharra, rising to 106mph at Glen Ogle and 114mph on the slopes of Aonach Mor near Fort William. A 61-year-old man has been taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after being struck by a falling tree in the Meadows. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. A tree also fell on a car in the city's Quality Street but no one was hurt. A woman has been taken to Hairmyres Hospital in South Lanarkshire after a tree fell on a taxi in Bothwell Road, Hamilton. Part of the roof around the helipad at Southern General Hospital in Glasgow has been blown away, and there was also an explosion at an electricity substation in Coatbridge, but no-one was hurt A Scot Rail spokesman said: 'No trains are running. Any trains currently on the network are making their way to nearest stations so passengers can safely disembark. Please do not attempt to travel. To help stranded passengers, the network is providing food, hot drinks and alternative transport if available - taxis in some cases - and keeping trains warm for those waiting on board for lifts. There was also disruption this morning on rail routes in northern England. Areas most at risk of flooding include the North Sea coast from Northumberland down to the Thames Estuary and Kent. The Environment Secretary will chair a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra committee to discuss the response to the storm, Prime Minister David Cameron said. In a message on Twitter, he said: 'I've asked Environment Secretary Owen Paterson to chair a Cobra this morning on the storm disruption - ensuring everything is being done.' The EA issued a severe flood warning - the highest category, regarding danger to life - to businesses and homes near The Quay in Sandwich, Kent, for high tides between 12.45am and 1pm tomorrow. The tidal reaches of the River Trent, Nottinghamshire, could also be affected today. On the west coast, severe gales, large waves and high water levels are expected from Cumbria down to Cheshire. Flood defences built since 1953 mean many parts of Britain are much better protected. The Thames Barrier was closed last night, and other defences have been activated at Colne in Essex and in Hull.
