all tour. Let's hope this guy has a lot | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Good evening. I'm Jo Kent. Thousands of households across the South face | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
a Christmas without power after high winds and torrential rain battered | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
our region last night. Overall, almost 83,000 households still | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
haven't been reconnected. The worst affected areas are both in | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Hampshire. Around Petersfield, more than 25,000 homes are without power, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
while in Aldershot, just under 20,000 families are likely to be in | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
the dark tonight. Also, within the last couple of hours, police in | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Oxfordshire have recovered a man's body from the swollen River Thame, | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
near Wheatley. His death is being treated as unexplained. It has been | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
a day of disruption and chaos. Not the type of Christmas tree you | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
want to see in your living room. For this family in Poole, last night's | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
storm was a lucky escape. We were just wrapping presents when the | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
first bit came down in the lounge. We heard a loud crash and quickly | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
ran out. We have had trees going down everywhere. We have had two | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
teens out all night. This is just one of many we have had. The winds | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
ripped across the South. This tree in Worthing rudely interrupted | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Christmas preparations. With the wind came torrential rain. Many main | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
roads, including the A35 through Dorset, were affected. 25 people in | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
the county had to be rescued from their cars by the fire service. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
These pensioners in Ferndown had to be helped from their mobile homes by | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
boat. At Emsworth in West Sussex, this group of houses was flooded out | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
for the sixth time in three years. Christmas will be spent bailing out. | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
It is just eight inches higher, and it has gone throughout the whole | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
house. Less than a week ago, we just had new carpets and flooring done | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
throughout the whole house, because I have got a baby due in nine weeks. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
And flash flooding. The River why are on the Isle of Wight burst its | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
banks, as did the River Rother, near Stedham in West Sussex. Properties | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
in nearby Fittleworth and Duncton were flooded, and some motorists | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
ignored the advice of emergency services and braved the floodwater, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
with potentially dangerous consequences. Trees down meant power | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
lines down, like this one near Winchester. The resulting power cuts | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
left thousands in the dark, with Christmas food spoiling. We have had | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
no power for about 17 hours now. There is a problem with the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
substation, apparently. We have got the turkey in the fridge, it is | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
obviously not being refrigerated, so I don't know. Although we are trying | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
our best this evening and late into the night to get them back on, if | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
people can make alternative arrangements, we recommend that they | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
do that. The companies now say that if homes are not reconnected before | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
midnight, they are unlikely to have electricity on Christmas Day. Trees | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
down on railway tracks like this one at Sholing meant no South West | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Trains ran before ten o'clock this morning, and First Great Western | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
trains through Reading suffered disruption, too. Hundreds were left | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
stranded at Gatwick, and although passengers arriving in Southampton | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
weren't delayed in the air, they did face long queues leaving the car | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
park because of a downed tree. As the Christmas clear`up continues, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
there are warnings of more bad weather to come on Friday. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
Let's get the all`important weather now. More bad weather later in the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
week? Yes, another storm on the way for Friday. Before then, we will | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
have heavy showers this evening and through Christmas day. The showers | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
could be squarely in nature, although the winds will is slightly | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
this evening `` the winds will is slightly. A bit of hail, even some | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
sleep over higher ground. For Christmas Day, those heavy and | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
squally showers will continue, with hail and thunder mixed in. During | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
the day, there will be some sunshine. It is a easy day. Boxing | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
Day is looking slightly better. As we look ahead to Friday, here is | :04:09. | :04:24. | |
the weather system coming in from the Atlantic, courtesy of this area | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
of low pressure. Winds gusting up to 70 mph. Inland gusts, 50 mph. And | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
some quite heavy rainfall. That there will be showers for Christmas | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
day. Boxing Day is slightly quieter, with light winds. Looking ahead to | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Friday, we have a Met Office yellow weather warning in force for heavy | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
rain and strong wind is. That's all from us for now. We are | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
back with our next bulletin at 1pm on Boxing Day. From all of us on the | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
it from us - we are back on Boxing Day at One o'clock. Merry Christmas. | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
Hello. The weather has been a little kinder today to travellers and | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
last-minute Christmas shoppers across England and Wales. Not as bad | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
as we feared across Northern | :05:22. | :05:22. |
