Brits are dealing with severe flooding and dangerous conditions after Storm Bert hit the UK. Five people lost their lives, and a 'DANGER to life' warning remains in place. The storm brought more than 80mph winds and widespread flooding, leaving many in need of a major clean-up. The situation at the Billing Aquadrome holiday park and surrounding areas is 'extremely hazardous'. Homeowners in Didcot, Oxfordshire, are facing sewage in their streets, and more flooding is expected this week, though it is expected to be less severe.
A 'DANGER to life' flood warning is still in place with Brits facing a mammoth clean up job after Storm Bert left five dead. Roads were turned into rivers and winds of more than 80mph were recorded across parts of the UK. A severe flood warning has been issued for the Billing Aquadrome holiday park and the surrounding parks. Officials said this will 'continue to be extremely hazardous' throughout the night. A man in his 30s is fighting for his life after a 'chemical' attack in a seaside town.
Stan Brown, 67, who has lived on the park for 25 years, said he has 'had enough' and felt he had no choice but to move away. Homeowners in Didcot, Oxfordshire, have been left disgusted as sewage 'poured into streets' during the aftermath of the storm. The Ladygrove estate in Didcot has been badly flooded, and people have been unable to get to work. People living in the area say the impact of foul waste in the streets is having a 'huge impact' on their wellbeing. More flooding is likely this week, but it should have a less severe impact than has been seen so far. Woodland Terrace in the village suffered an apparent landslide during the storm, with many people asked to leave their homes overnight after mud and water came up to just below their windows
