The storm led to homes<\/a> and businesses<\/a> being flooded, rail and road delays, plus the cancellation of school transport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One driver died after his lorry left the road<\/a> in North Gorley in the New Forest and went into a river.<\/p>\n

Gray said the flooding in Dorset had been “some of the worst for at least the last decade”.<\/p>\n

He added: “Looking forward, it seems to be an improving position which is really positive news for the residents and the people of Dorset area.<\/p>\n

“We do expect to see some more rain but we’re not expect any more significant impacts.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the EA said floodwater at Iford Bridge Home Park was expected to be deep and fast flowing, which led to the urgent evacuations.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post, external<\/a>, BCP said residents could now return to their homes.<\/p>\n

It advised them to avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.<\/p>\n

It also said people out for a walk during the weekend should stay away from cliff edges and be cautious near large bodies of water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The storm led to homes and businesses being flooded, rail and road delays, plus the cancellation of school…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-401759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
