PASSENGERS have been rescued from a bus by a rubber dinghy and a DLR station was left underwater as flash floods hit London today.Residents used a dinghy to help passengers get off a bus stuck on a flooded roadA video shared on social media shows a bus stuck in a flooded street and residents coming to the rescue to help passengers get off safely.
At some point, the men also pick up some of the passengers and hold them in their arms to move them away from the flooded road. Several people have been unable to use public transport after stations were closed during the storms. "Torrential downpours, thunder and lightning and potentially some hailstones are settling in the south."Mr Keates said the storms have been caused by a "convergence" of air currents, because of warmth in the earth's surface from the recent heatwave rising into cooler air in the atmosphere.
