Aerial video shows Storm Claudia flooding Monmouth: Large parts of Welsh town submerged

Large areas of the Welsh town of Monmouth were submerged after Storm Claudia brought heavy rain to England and Wales from Friday into Saturday.

South Wales Fire and Rescue declared a major incident, urging the public to stay away as fast-moving water, blocked roads and pressure on infrastructure created dangerous conditions.

The storm, which reached the UK and Ireland on Friday, caused widespread torrential rain and localized flooding.

A yellow rain warning remained in place for parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Storm Claudia had earlier affected regions of Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands.
