Many areas of Folkestone, Hawkinge and Hythe have reported
roads flooded. Cars have broken down at the Lidl roundabout on Haven Drive which is under a foot of water.
A lightning strike to a signal box in Folkestone knocked out power to points on the railway line
from Ramsgate to Ashford.
The route which runs through Deal, Dover and the Folkestone is
gradually getting back to normal, but trains travelling to Thanet are still badly disrupted
and a bus service is operating in the Shepherdswell area.
