Flooding and storm damage as Angus batters the south

Storm Angus, the first named storm of the season, has caused flooding and chaos for emergency services, hitting the south with gusts of up to 80mph.

Winds on the south coast were recorded at up to 68mph on Sunday morning, and there are localised reports of flooding and storm damage.

In Swanage, part of the sea wall collapsed. People are asked to avoid the area while it's made safe.

The storm will push north throughout the morning with the winds expected to peak in south-east England at around 11am.

Winds hindered firefighters' efforts to extinguish a "major fire" in a building on Bognor seafront in West Sussex after they were called at around 3.45am.

In East Sussex, organisers of the Brighton 10k tweeted that the run had been cancelled because of the high winds.

And scaffolding crushed a car when it was blown from a home in Brighton, East Sussex.

The Met Office issued an amber "be prepared" warning from the Isle of Wight to Kent and advised to prepare for travel disruption, possible power cuts, damage to buildings, flooding and debris from trees.

A yellow "be aware" warning was issued for all parts of the country south of the M4 with gusts of up to 65mph expected in other coastal areas.
