Severe
Storms Hit UK
Mitch,
I'm sure you have seen the news about the bad storms in
the UK. I live near Dover on the South coast, the weather
here has been raging all night. Wind gusts of up to 100
mph have caused devastation. The government has issued over
100 flood alerts - rivers are bursting their banks and homes
are being flooded. We have experienced snow and hail too.
Transport systems are devastated with the already damaged
rail service brought to almost a stand still. Roads are
coming to a halt in many areas with a huge increase of accidents
because of the conditions. Right now at approximately 1.30pm
the sun is at last showing through the clouds and the wind
has calmed a little, however the weather warnings are not
good, with more wind and rain on the way to us.
