00:00A ghost from the tropics just slammed the UK and Ireland.
00:03It was Storm Amy, born from the remains of a deadly Category 5 hurricane.
00:08Storm Amy roared in with hurricane-force winds.

00:24Over 200,000 people lost power.
00:26Airports shut down.
00:28Trains delayed.
00:29Dublin Airport saw more than 100 flights cancelled.
00:32And this storm was no ordinary system.
00:35It once had the heart of Hurricane Humberto.
00:37A Category 5 monster that crossed the Atlantic.
00:41It fused with the jet stream, transformed,
00:43then struck Europe as Storm Amy,
00:45breaking pressure records in the UK at 947 to 9 millibars.
00:49Debris, floods, downed trees, chaos from coast to coast.
00:54From its roots in tropical waters to its fury in the North Atlantic,
