In some areas flooding is a problem. A flash flood is where the flooding happens quickly and the water moves, sweeping things away that are in its path. There are people trapped by one of these right now. They are in danger if they choose to try moving while the flood goes along. Hopefully they can be rescued and helped because it’s important to have them safe. Their belongings don’t matter as much as their personal safety.

• A workshop in Sussex went up in flames as a result of the violent lightning storms.
• Water pumps, including those from other crews in the county, were used to pump water out of homes.
• Damage includes a house’s roof in Herne Bay and a fire at the Three Ponds Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Newhaven.
