UK NEWS: This Weather is a Whole New Kettle of Fish

Half an inch of rain fell in just 10 minutes so top hats and summer dresses provided little protection from the water and hailstones.

In some areas of the Midlands an entire month’s worth of rain fell in just three hours and in Hastings and St Leonards families had to be evacuated from their homes as the sudden deluge caused floods more than two feet deep.
