:00:56. > :01:02.route was flooded or blocked by trees. The trees have fallen down,
:01:03. > :01:10.the floods, you can't do nothing about it. We are stuck here. Well,
:01:11. > :01:16.I'm from Northampton, we never had anything like this. You havd to
:01:17. > :01:21.carry on, don't you? You know, British weather. More frustration if

:01:27. > :01:31.mid`morning, due to 12 falldn trees. Southeastern are now running a
:01:32. > :01:34.limited service. In Lindfield, these neighbours had an unpleasant

:02:23. > :02:26.ends, and the police were there The policeman come running up to me
:02:27. > :02:30.telling me to get inside and stay in the back of my property. Because if
:02:31. > :02:33.the glass goes through, if this thing goes off and the glass goes
:02:34. > :02:37.through, glass could go on ly jugular and it wouldn't be very
:02:38. > :02:39.pretty. Campaigners have gathered in

:03:29. > :03:32.drop, could be getting down to one Celsius. Perhaps in a sheltdred spot
:03:33. > :03:36.you might get a glimmer of frost and one or two icy stretches tolorrow
:03:37. > :03:39.morning. But it is a blue sky and sunshine day. The wind much lighter,
