Good afternoon. The South West has been put to the test once more by | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
yet another storm. The bouts of strong winds and heavy rains | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
sweeping in from the Atlantic may be coming to an end. Gusts of 80mph | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
were recorded off Dorset coach last night and thousands of people are | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
without power this lunch time. Rail services are disrupted and roads in | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Devon have suffered badly from falling trees. Severe flood warnings | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
remain in place. This is the clock tower and | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
institute building in kings sand, we saw images yesterday, those big | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
waves pounding in. There was concern for people in the community. They | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
were right to be concerned. As you can see this morning, there's more | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
damage. A new hole has appeared at the base of this building. We have | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
builders on site to see how to shore it up and protect this historic | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
building. The plan for Monday was that concrete would be pumped into | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
the base to give it extra support. That may be delayed because of this | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
new hole. They have to figure out how to make it safe first. It's a | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
setback for the clock tower. There's concern it could collapse all | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
together if they can't sort the problems out. Elsewhere we have | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
issued at SlaptonLay last night. People were rescued trapped in their | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
cars. People were stranded in their cars, trapped in the water there. | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Also at dualish, again sea defences took a pounding from powerful waves. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
The sea containers used to shore up the sea wall took a beating and took | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
damage. 50 people had to be evacuated from their homes as a | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
precaution. On the rail, still no rail services between Penzance and | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Plymouth as well. Elsewhere, near Plymouth, as well as fallen trees, | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
we have roofs coming off, power lines are down. About 10,000 people | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
are still without power this morning. The South West this | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
morning, and the rest of the day is licking its wounds. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
The Prime Minister visited the south`west this week defending his | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
response to the floods, saying money and resources were being made | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
available to help people. Today, the Shadow Environment Secretary, Maria | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
eagle, became the latest politician to see the damage. We want to hear | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
your stories of flooding. Get in touch: | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Sport and many of today's fixtures are on, despite a day of wet weather | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
yesterday. Torquay United are away to Chesterfield. | :02:42. | :02:55. | |
The weather may not be make being the headlines for too much longer, | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
thankfully. Let's get the full forecast for now. ( Good afternoon. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
We saw some very strong winds last night. Those winds, though, have | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
been easing and they'll continue to ease through the rest of today. We | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
have got showers around as well, a mixture of sunny spells and showers. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Those showers will tend to become fewer through the afternoon. Where | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
the showers occur, they could be heavy and bring hail and thunder. We | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
still have a yellow Met Office warning in force. Eventually the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
showers ease away and we see more in the way of sunny spells. Highs of | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
eight to ten degrees. Overnight, with the clear skies, it is going to | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
turn chilly. We are likely to see frost and ice could be a hazard | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
through tonight as well. Lows of one to three degrees. For tomorrow then, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
a cold but bright start to the day. Lots of sunshine on the way. We may | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
find a few showers creeping in to the west later. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
That's it, I'm back at 6pm tonight, do join me then, if you can. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Whatever you're doing, have a great afternoon. | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
Good afternoon. It looks as though we could be heading towards a sunny | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
Sunday, something I assure we will all be grateful. What a store the! | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
In Berry head in Devon winds were in excess of 80 miles an hour. In | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
Heathrow airport, they were seeing winds of over 60 miles an hour. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
These will ease through the rest of the day and we will have a few | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
decent showers to encounter. You can see this lump across the far north | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
and west, perhaps more of an organised line of showery rain which | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
is set to descend to south and east through the afternoon. There will be | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
some sharp showers this afternoon. Showers continuing up into the north | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
of Scotland. It will feel quite cold despite some sunshine. Quite a | :05:05. | :05:05. |
