rainfall, almost five inches. A number of rivers have burst their | :00:25. | :00:27. | |

services and led to major delays at Gatwick Airport. Jon Hunt reports. | :00:31. | :00:40. | |

warnings were in place across the South East on 14 rivers and | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
streams. The rain is now finding its way into the rivers so the majority | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
of the rivers across the South East are still rising and we are watching | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
those closely, and we have issued flood alert and afford warnings as | :01:32. | :01:37. | |

peak of the disruption, 40,000 homes in the area were without power. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |

sorted out. The winds may have used for the time being but there is | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
still the risk of more flooding. Families are facing a difficult | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Christmas, fighting the floodwaters, coping without power or being forced | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
to spend Christmas out of their homes. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
