"Just waking up and being like 'oh my god', am I dreaming? I looked out and thought maybe it was just the one road and then I looked round the back."She explained that a number of cars had been flooded by the water, many of which she fears may need to be written off. The 21 year old continued: "It's quite devastating to be fair as we can't get outside, we are lucky that we did out food shop yesterday.
