In recent days, the Atlantic storm has affected most of the UK, and heavy rain has fallen over most parts of the UK. The British Met Office issued more than 300 flood warnings on the 5th local time, reminding residents to be alert to flooding.
Due to successive storms in the UK in the past few weeks, much of the UK has reached saturation with soil moisture. A new round of heavy rainfall that began on the 4th quickly caused flooding in major rivers in England and Wales, with some rivers bursting. To this end, the British government issued more than 300 flood warnings on the 5th.
On that day, rising river water flooded roads and low-lying areas in Cambridgeshire, east of England. In Gloucestershire, in the southwest of England, residents had to paddle boats through the streets. In addition, Nottinghamshire, located on the banks of the River Trent, was badly affected, with aerial footage showing large areas of streets and farmland flooded.
Residents of Nottinghamshire, England, built their own flood wall and escaped
In order to protect his homeland from the repeated floods in the UK since last year, a resident of Nottinghamshire built a flood wall last September, so that his house was almost unaffected by the floods.
Nottinghamshire resident Lopton: We've been through nine floods, so we decided to build this wall, and it's not a good thing that the house is flooded.
