“Some interruption to power supplies and other services is possible," they said, adding that people can expect: spray and flooding on roads making journey times longer, bus and train services affected with journey times taking longer, and flooding of a few homes and businesses.

There were multiple road closures in place on Friday with photos showing a tree on top of a car and a van in one Sussex village. Read the article and see the photos here.
