Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 http://www.ntlworld.com/partners/itn/britain/1708353.php Britain braced for powerful storms Severe storms are set to batter parts of Britain with forecasters warning of torrential rain and winds of up to 90mph. Floods and structural damage are expected as the atrocious weather sweeps across southern England. Weatherman Jeremy Plester said: "We are looking at very strong winds in the south of the country, with gusts of about 70mph going up to 80 or 90mph. "The South West, Devon and Cornwall, will probably get the worst of it. "We are also going to see some torrential rain in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia with an increased likelihood of flooding in those areas. It could be pretty nasty." The Environment Agency has issued 27 flood watches - its lowest level of warning - 16 in the South West, four in the Thames region, three in Wales, two in the Anglian region and two in the South. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
