Despite gale force winds and heavy rain battering Medway overnight, there has been no major disruption reported.

Kent Police said some trees have fallen on roads in the county, but it seems the Towns were let off lightly.

But weather forecasters predict the worst is yet to come. This week is expected to be the windiest of the year so far.

A ferocious storm - similar to the one that ravaged Scotland last week - is forecast for Thursday night and a severe weather warning is already in place.

Last night, parts of the county were battered by winds of up to 70mph.

Firefighters at Strood and Medway stations said they had a quiet night.
