The West has been clearing tp today after thunderstorms battered | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Homes were damaged by flash floods and lightning, while in Corsham | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
a train was stuck on the line for hours, as the waters rose around it. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The storm's intensity took lany by surprise. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Across the West, frequent bright flashes of lightning, some | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
incredibly caught on camera, from kingswood near Bristol to Corsham. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
It took seconds to rip the roof off this house in Meltsham. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
It's fortunate that no`one was inside the property at the time it | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
got hit by the suspected lightning strike at around 10.00pm last night. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |

The couple who live here ard on holiday in Greece. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
The next door neighbour got a big surprise. | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
It was a really loud bang, like a big gun going off and then we | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
walked back into our living room to find that it was smoking | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
in there and found a big hole in the wall and all the plugs had shot out | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
With the electrical storm c`me the downpours. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
A month's rain pour in three hours. Wiltshire's | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
In a very short space of tile, during a two`hour duration of the | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
storm, we had about 240 calls to the service for assistance. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
They didn't all require a responding appliance but they were | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
quickly assessede and resources were despatched to the most serious | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
One of the biggest challengds for the emergency services was | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
dealing with this train that got stuck in three feet | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
90 people were on board, heading from London to Swansea, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
A couple of passengers came through the | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
carriage and said ` it's st`rting to look a bit wet out there. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
About 20 minutes later I got up and had a look out. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
By that time, the water was already up to the bottom of the | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
The passengers had to wait tp to five hours until the train was | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Long after they had gone, though, the clean`up was still conthnuing. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
At the Claremont residential home in Corsham, which cares for ne`rly 60 | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
people, damage done to the cellar soon had knock`on effects. | :02:18. | :02:31. | |
The provisions that had been made to tackle the eventuality of flooding | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
in there, didn't kick in and then the whole system got overwhdlmed. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
So we had to use bigger equipment to pump it out. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
In one street, again in Corsham a garden shed was thrust | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
into the nearby brook and many residents lost thehr | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
After days of dry weather, this was a dramatic wake`up call. | :02:45. | :02:56. | |
A Gloucestershire couple who subjected five of their children to | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
appalling neglect have had their prison sentences extended | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
The children slept on dirty mattresses | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
Their parents ` who can't bd named ` were jailed in June but the | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
Today the Court of Appeal s`id both will now serve six years. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
A builder from Bristol has pleaded guilty to defrauding dozens | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Mark Jenkins from Downend took around ?1.5 million from customers | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
He used several names including Mark Killick, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
The way the West is governed is to change ` that was the plddge | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
His message follows the No vote in Scotland which will now see | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Some think a similar move in England could boost cities like Bristol | :03:46. | :03:58. | |
Scotland's flag flew a little limp in Bristol this morning. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Nearby, looking much better, was the Union Jack, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
I'm pleased that the Union stayed in tact. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
I understand the reason why Scotland was getting and is getting lore | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
money and more help, but I think we don't need to forget the English. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
I'm really pleased that the Scottish people have decided to stay in | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the kingdom but I think there'll be lots of things to unravel and there | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
is going to be enormous pressure on Westminster to start looking | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
The main parties promised all forms of devolution to Scotland to | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
We hope they'll also look at places like this city | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
The Prime Minister was quick off the mark. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
We have heard the voice of Scotland and now the millions of voices | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
He pledged simultaneous change both sides of the border with | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
an end to Scottish MPs voting on matters that only concern England. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
He backed growing calls to see cities given more power. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
It is also important that wd have wider civic engagement | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
about how to improve govern`nce throughout our UK, including how to | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
That's music to the ears of Bristol's elected mayor, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
I think we shall and I think all the political parties are getting it. | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
What it does, it galvanises them to think | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
I absolutely believe that the city regions are the pl`ces to | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
have the power in order to have much more joined`up thinking. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Almost everyone agrees that change is needed but deciding what | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
that change will be and delhvering it fast, will be much harder. | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Rugby now and Gloucester had close game against Exeter | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Gloucester scored three trids, including one from Johnny M`y | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
The final score ` Gloucestdr 2 , Exeter 25. | :05:53. | :06:02. | |
Now, if you're scared of sphders, I'm afraid I have some rathdr bad | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
According to experts at the University of Gloucestershire, | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
there will be more of them and they'll be getting biggdr. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
It's because of the mild we`ther, meaning there's more food | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
That's it from us. We will be here throughout the weekend but now Ian | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
Ferguson has the latest fordcast. Good evening. The Met Officd will | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
continue with a warning for heavy rain through to 9.00am tomorrow | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
There a number of you through Wiltshire, Bath, Gloucestershire, | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
who saw the result of a simhlar warning last night with nasty | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
conditions. I think this tile it is going to be a case of transferring | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
of that threat eastwards as the night wears on, particularlx parts | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
of Gloucestershire, particularly South Gloucestershire, throtgh the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
M4 corridor. We will have to blurt edges as to where the worst of any | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
potential storms may or may not develop. Anyway, it will be a mild | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
night again about 13 to 15. Low cloud around. Showers should be away | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
to the east of us. It'll brhghten up into the afternoon. I would expect | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
it to be dry through the rest of the day and once again turning warm | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
where the sun breaks through, getting up into about the low 2 s, | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
21, maybe even 22. It will be a fresher day on Sunday. A good deal | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
of dry, sunny weather about. Quite settled into the next week `s | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Hello. Our weather is about to correct itself and stop acting as if | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
we are still at the height of summer. 26 Celsius today in Sussex | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
and Kent. Some disruptive thunderer storms. Those affected parts of | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
southern and south-west England with flooding. Further intense | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
storms developed to the north and east of London, and moving into East | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Anglia. There's been a lot of rain in a short space of time, producing | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
flooding. Hail in places. This is East London this afternoon. If this | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
has been your weather recently, big changes are on the way. This weekend | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
we clear away the thunder storms. If you've had low cloud, mist and | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
drizzle, your weather improves as cleaner air pushes south. We are not | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
there yet. Another claggy night Showers and heavy downpours | :08:29. | :08:29. |
