:00:00. > :00:15.flood waters are on the rise. That's
:00:16. > :00:20.Year Good evening. The Environment Agency is warning of more flooding
:00:21. > :00:24.and severe disruption as the Thames is set to rise, in places, to its
:00:25. > :00:29.highest level in 60 years. 14 severe flood warnings remain in place in
:00:30. > :00:31.Berkshire and Surrey. As the rescue operation continues, emergency
:00:32. > :00:41.services have described their task as immense. Our reporter Nick Beake
:00:42. > :00:46.spent the day with them in Surrey. The house down the road is going
:00:47. > :00:50.under. The bungalows are going under. They are working flat out
:00:51. > :00:55.with these most surreal of scenes. Whole estate are deluged. This is
:00:56. > :00:59.mad. The water levels are still rising. It's not a good situation
:01:00. > :01:05.and is only going to get worse in the next few days. I think people
:01:06. > :01:09.need to be aware. They need to get food in. There is potential for the
:01:10. > :01:12.national infrastructure ` the electric ` if that goes out, we ve
:01:13. > :01:17.got real problems. It's up to my waist and getting deeper. The team
:01:18. > :01:21.has been told a 72`year`old woman needs medical attention. But there's
:01:22. > :01:26.a problem ` they can't get any further. Log cutters are needed
:01:27. > :01:34.Eventually, June Shanks is brought out. Hopefully she will be able to
:01:35. > :01:42.get sorted out. Anything like this before? No, no. The last time was
:01:43. > :01:51.1947 when she was evacuated. She used to live down Chertsey Lane men.
:01:52. > :01:57.And this weather ` I mean... Yeah. It's just deteriorated. He wasn t
:01:58. > :02:01.wrong. No more than half a mile away, another rescue ` this time by
:02:02. > :02:08.the army and the Fire Brigade joining forces. The Bruce family
:02:09. > :02:13.dashed for the safety and warmth of a neighbour's has. We were just
:02:14. > :02:18.stranded. We didn't get any notice that the floods were going to come
:02:19. > :02:21.so all of our cars were underwater. We ran out of food on the drains
:02:22. > :02:27.were all blocking so we had to get out. They knocked on doors and the
:02:28. > :02:37.army said, "we're taking out in about if you're ready. " App the
:02:38. > :02:42.people who are left, I don't know what they're going to do but they
:02:43. > :02:45.chose to stay. The emergency services have been evacuating people
:02:46. > :02:50.from their homes today and, as you can see, it's completely cut off.
:02:51. > :02:54.The water continues to pour down. There's a howling wind and the
:02:55. > :03:00.concern is that the water level he seems to be rising. That means, for
:03:01. > :03:06.the emergency services, just no respite. The scale is immense and so
:03:07. > :03:12.you can't imagine, unless you're here, how bad it is for some of
:03:13. > :03:17.these residents. Among them, Mark Butler. A solitary figure on this
:03:18. > :03:20.street, he arranged for his disabled wife to be evacuated but has so far
:03:21. > :03:28.claimed the offer of a rescue for himself. Do you think you will have
:03:29. > :03:31.to leave? Not yet. I'm staying here until my electric nose or it starts
:03:32. > :03:37.coming through the front door. You've still got heating? I've got a
:03:38. > :03:43.little electric heaters so I'm fine. I've got food and everything.
:03:44. > :03:48.Elsewhere, it's not just people being pulled out of danger. You can
:03:49. > :03:55.find cheerful faces here but no body knows just how long this will go on.
:03:56. > :03:59.In this corner of Surrey tonight, the rescue goes on, the rain comes
:04:00. > :04:09.down and the rescue mission continues.
:04:10. > :04:12.So, that was sorry. Let's get the latest now from Wraysbury with Alice
:04:13. > :04:15.Bhandhukravi. We heard about the scale of the task. Another
:04:16. > :04:22.incredibly busy day. That's right, Riz. We're here in the
:04:23. > :04:26.primary school, in the gym toned headquarters of the relief
:04:27. > :04:29.operation. All the emergency services have been here throughout
:04:30. > :04:33.the day. The army will be here throughout the night, as will the
:04:34. > :04:38.fire service. They're getting calls to all sorts of people who need help
:04:39. > :04:42.being evacuated, who may need medical supplies. Even the RSPCA has
:04:43. > :04:46.been here to help animals in distress. I spoke to a local
:04:47. > :04:50.councillor earlier who says that from the perspective of local
:04:51. > :04:56.people, there is certainly the feeling that everything that can be
:04:57. > :05:00.done. We're now into the night phase. We have 30 troops in the
:05:01. > :05:04.village overnight, patrolling every street in conjunction with the
:05:05. > :05:09.police. We have 12 London Fire Brigade engines on stand`by, two
:05:10. > :05:16.ambulances and the centre open all night. It will be dealing with
:05:17. > :05:20.enquiries and incidents. Of course, the worry is about what happens over
:05:21. > :05:25.the next few days with the rising water levels. For a lot of people
:05:26. > :05:30.here, the real work will start once the news crews and emergency
:05:31. > :05:35.services have left and the real work begins in terms of cleaning up the
:05:36. > :05:37.reconstruction. Alice, from Wraysbury, thank you.
:05:38. > :05:40.Well, as we've seen, travelling around the flood`hit areas is a
:05:41. > :05:43.challenge in itself ` let alone trying to get to work. Tarah Welsh
:05:44. > :05:57.reports on how people have been coping.
:05:58. > :06:01.Dread ` that's the feeling for people in Paddington tonight waiting
:06:02. > :06:03.for journeys to Reading. The cancellations come up on the board
:06:04. > :06:08.and nobody is informing us what s happening. We got on the second
:06:09. > :06:11.station on the train back to Slough and there were people fighting to
:06:12. > :06:15.get onto the platforms who couldn't get onto the train at all. And this
:06:16. > :06:19.is why ` a flooded signalling cabinet at Maidenhead. In that
:06:20. > :06:28.checked, this was the morning rush`hour. No trains. `` in Datchet.
:06:29. > :06:34.Are you going to school? No. Why not? We can't get there. I need to
:06:35. > :06:39.go to Chertsey, which normally takes about 20 minutes with good traffic.
:06:40. > :06:44.It's taken me two hours. But there is a mode of transport making it
:06:45. > :06:49.easier for some. Usually, tourists pay for this but today the service
:06:50. > :06:54.is free. It's basically a boat with wheels. But the water has to be
:06:55. > :06:59.about four feet deep before she ll actually float. Malcolm had to get
:07:00. > :07:03.to the health centre this morning and would have had to get through
:07:04. > :07:08.this. I do is to fly aircraft but I've never been on a duck before!
:07:09. > :07:10.This man needed a lift to fly aircraft but I've never been on a
:07:11. > :07:13.dock before! This man needed a lift just a few feet away.
:07:14. > :07:17.Why can't you walk? It's too deep down there. For those who have to go
:07:18. > :07:22.further, they need one of these But when the water comes to an end, the
:07:23. > :07:25.traffic begins. A lot of road closures around here and I think a
:07:26. > :07:28.lot of people are probably scared to go out because they don't know
:07:29. > :07:33.whether they're going to get caught in the sudden depths of the water.
:07:34. > :07:36.And it's not just what's under the water that's bothering people. It's
:07:37. > :07:39.not knowing when it will go or what is next to come.
:07:40. > :07:43.And there are continuing problems with rail services out of Euston
:07:44. > :07:46.tonight. All Virgin trains on the West Coast Main Line from the
:07:47. > :07:49.station have been suspended. Network Rail say some train services are
:07:50. > :07:57.running to Birmingham and Wolverhampton but with delays.
:07:58. > :08:02.The national weather forecast follows in a moment but first,
:08:03. > :08:06.here's Georgina with a detailed look in and around London.
:08:07. > :08:12.The Met Office having yellow warning in place for wind until 5am so a
:08:13. > :08:15.gusty night ahead. Let's jump forward to Friday and Saturday
:08:16. > :08:19.because we have another system pushing through, bringing heavy
:08:20. > :08:26.rain, strong winds. There are yellow warnings in place for both rain and
:08:27. > :08:31.wind. Tonight, it's more about showers through the night. Some of
:08:32. > :08:35.them falling on higher ground are likely to be wintry, falling as
:08:36. > :08:41.snow, with temperatures down to two or three degrees. Ice may be an
:08:42. > :08:46.issue in rural areas. Tomorrow is a day of sunshine and blustery
:08:47. > :08:51.showers. Temperatures up to about six or seven, so not too bad a day
:08:52. > :08:56.tomorrow. I will leave you with a three`day outlook for the week and I
:08:57. > :09:08.will pass over to Jay Wynne, who has the national weather.
:09:09. > :09:14.Good evening. What an incredible day of weather it has been. We saw gusts
:09:15. > :09:19.of wind up to 108 mph in the West of Wales. The wind is easing down a
:09:20. > :09:22.notch or two but we still have a high-level amber warning from the
:09:23. > :09:27.Met Office for the strength of the wind over the next few hours over
:09:28. > :09:30.quite a large swathe of the UK. Northern Ireland, northern England
:09:31. > :09:35.and down across Wales, there is still potential for damaging and
:09:36. > :09:38.disruptive gusts of wind. This huge curl of cloud is bringing wet and
:09:39. > :09:43.windy weather across much of the West of Europe. It curls back across
:09:44. > :09:46.the north of the UK and that's the centre of the area of low pressure
:09:47. > :09:50.with the strongest winds just to the south of that. Let's focus on the
:09:51. > :09:54.winds over the next few hours. The ease down by a notch or two but
:09:55. > :10:02.still blustery conditions over most of Wales. High seas around the coast
:10:03. > :10:07.and gusting up to 70 mph. Easily around the 80 mph mark across much
:10:08. > :10:12.of northern England. Across the Pennines this evening and overnight,
:10:13. > :10:15.travelling will be treacherous. Wind and rain at lower levels will
:10:16. > :10:21.produce a lot of spray. You don t have to go to high up the Pennines
:10:22. > :10:25.to see that turned to snow. One way or another, further disruption to
:10:26. > :10:28.travel is more than likely. BBC local radio will keep you up-to date
:10:29. > :10:34.on where you are and where you are trying to get to. The centre of the
:10:35. > :10:37.low system moves northwards. Pretty heavy snow developing across the
:10:38. > :10:41.hills of Scotland with several centimetres by dawn. A bit of snow
:10:42. > :10:46.for Northern Ireland and wintry showers drifting across the southern
:10:47. > :10:48.counties. A risk of ice with most races are seeing the temperatures a
:10:49. > :10:53.degree or so either side of freezing. A cold, windy start
:10:54. > :10:59.Thursday but I think it be a better day. No persistent rain to be seen.
:11:00. > :11:03.There should be some spells of sunshine for many of us, as well.
:11:04. > :11:07.Does it last until the end of the week? I'm afraid not. It goes
:11:08. > :11:13.downhill on Friday. This low pressure will head our way. Lots of
:11:14. > :11:19.isobars on the chart later in the day. Gusts of 60, 70 or 80 mph, with
:11:20. > :11:21.rain spreading northwards. Significant snow for parts of
:11:22. > :11:25.Northern Ireland and southern Scotland. Windy into the start of
:11:26. > :11:30.the weekend. Saturday has outbreaks of rain. On Sunday, something of a
:11:31. > :11:31.respite. The winds will ease down and it should
