The remnants of Hurricane Bertha have hit Britain, bringing strong winds and and heavy rain moving in from the south west of the country. Winds of 35mph were recorded in Cornwall, while Kent saw up to a quarter of an inch of rainfall in an hour, the Met Office said. The Red Cross has mobilised hundreds of volunteers who are on standby amid fears people will need to be evacuated from their homes. While the first rainfall from the Hurricane was seen at around 11pm the Met Office said the main brunt of it hit the UK around 3am. The stormy weather, which is expected to quickly sweep across the rest of Britain, follows torrential downpours on Friday which caused flooding across eastern England and saw more than 1,400 homes hit by power cuts.
