:01:04. > :01:06.I couldn't comprehend what was happening.

:01:07. > :01:15.It was so ferocious, it's took them 6.5 hours to close it down.

:01:16. > :01:17.Meanwhile, dozens of other houses had also been flooded,

:01:18. > :01:22.It's literally just destroyed everything.

:01:23. > :01:26.It's destroyed the washing machine, the kitchen.

:01:27. > :01:28.I mean, we've got a dog and cat upstairs.

:01:29. > :01:32.Moved our cars down the road, and we were slowly watching it

:01:33. > :01:35.rise and rise and rise and ruin everything.

:01:36. > :01:37.My kitchen's flooded, the whole garden's flooded.

:01:38. > :01:42.But that is the extent of it, so, hopefully, it'll be OK

:01:43. > :01:47.Tonight, Severn Trent say they've now closed the burst off fully

:01:48. > :01:49.and they've restored water to most houses locally.

:02:32. > :02:36.It's a village already split in half by the M1,

:02:37. > :02:41.and now looks set to be sliced again by HS2.

:02:42. > :02:45.Despite this, Trowell Parish Council says it should be seen not only

:02:46. > :02:49.as one village but wholly as a rural village.

:02:50. > :02:54.HS2, however, has classified much of Trowell as an urban village.

:02:55. > :02:58.Which means people affected by the line in the urban part,

:02:59. > :03:01.the area not surrounded by these multicoloured lines,

:03:02. > :03:08.Trowell village on the map is an area which is slightly

:03:09. > :03:19.to the west of the motorway, and the other half of the village

:03:20. > :03:23.And my belief is they just hadn't realised we are actually part

:04:10. > :04:11.Time for a look at the weather now, here's Alex.

:04:12. > :04:17.Well, I'd grab your brollies for tomorrow because we've got some

:04:18. > :04:22.These fronts coming towards us, the isobars squeezing together

:04:23. > :04:24.as well, so we are expecting some breezy conditions, too.

:04:25. > :04:27.Looking at the detail tonight, dry for a time, a few showers

:04:28. > :04:30.working their way across the region, and a mild night tonight

:04:31. > :04:33.Now, watch out tomorrow morning, there could be some spray

:04:34. > :04:36.and standing water on the roads as this wet weather

:04:37. > :04:40.We are expecting highs of 12 Celsius and slightly drier

:04:41. > :04:43.and brighter weather as we go through the afternoon.

:04:44. > :04:49.Sunshine and showers on the way, noticeably cooler, though,

:04:50. > :04:55.We're back tomorrow morning from 6:25am.

:04:56. > :05:15.Good evening. There is some rain coming into the southern half of the

:05:16. > :05:19.UK as we speak. I think by the end of the night it will have got into

:05:20. > :05:24.the Midlands and much of East Anglia as well. A bit of a breeze here as

:05:25. > :05:32.well. Some gusty winds and snow on the hills of Scotland. With all of

:05:33. > :05:34.that going on, it is not particularly cold overnight.

:05:35. > :05:38.Southern areas will hang on to double figures in many towns and

:05:39. > :05:41.cities. A bit of a messy picture for the start of the new week. The rain

:05:42. > :05:46.moves quickly eastwards across Scotland. For Northern England,

:05:47. > :05:52.Wales, the Midlands and South West it is a miserable start to the day.

:05:53. > :05:56.Brighter skies do follow along behind but with some showers. Wintry

:05:57. > :06:04.showers across the hills of Scotland. The cold Iraq continues to

:06:05. > :06:08.filter its way in. Through the evening, once the sun goes
