BRITAIN UNDER WEATHER ONSLAUGHT - A FLOODED COAST AND DESTROYED ROADS - AND IT WILL GET WORSE


Hundreds of homes flooded and roads are SMASHED as Britain's coast is battered by 30ft waves in fiercest storm for 20 years... and it will get worse this weekend when the North is hit by snow.

 
  • Flooding is a 'national emergency' says Anne McIntosh, chair of the Commons Environment Select Committee
  • Environment Agency has urged people to stay away from the sea and rivers because they risk being killed 
  • Teenager Harry Martin still missing after taking photographs of storm from cliffs close to Plymouth in Devon
  • 103 flood warnings and a further 261 alerts are in place across the UK
  • Torrential rain will batter southern parts of England, before sweeping eastwards
  • Met Office warns that rain could give way to ice snow as bitterly cold Arctic air brings freezing temperatures
  • Winds of 70mph-plus and torrential rain to batter UK into next week, peaking on Monday
  • Two FA Cup ties and horse racing at Sandown Park and Wincanton Racecourse have been called off
