A woman in her 20s has been killed as the remnants of Hurricane Ophelia hit the British Isles, the BBC reports.
Maximum sustained winds are still at a devastating 185mph (295kph) and the hurricane continues to move in a west-north-westerly direction at 15mph (24kph), according to The Guardian.
Oil prices slid on Wednesday but gasoline spiked to its highest since mid-2015 as flooding and storm damage in the wake of Hurricane Harvey knocked out almost a quarter of U.S. refineries, crimping demand for crude but raising fears of fuel shortages, according to Reuters.
A family of six trying to escape the floodwaters produced by Harvey has been counted among the 14 victims who died in the historic storm, authorities said, Fox News reported.
