People in Crickhowell are starting the clear-up after being hit by Storm Dennis and what they describe as the worst floods in 40 years.
Pubs, houses, businesses and roads in the Powys town were left underwater as the River Usk burst its banks in the early hours of Sunday.
The bridge between Crickhowell and Llangattock was flooded as was the nearby A4077.
Emergency services used a helicopter to winch people to safety and homes and businesses were flooded.
There were even reports that fire crews from Carmarthen were called in to help because they had specialist equipment needed.
And the local high school was opened for all local residents and members of the community if they need to shelter from the flooding.
The Usk reached 2.4m as a month's worth of rain fell on the region in just 48 hours.
Local resident Peter Williams, who has lived in the town for 38 years, said he had never seen it so bad.
"People talk about the flood in the 1970s but there has been nothing like this since they built the flood defences in the 1980s," the photographer said.
"The ground was already saturated from Storm Ciara last week and then the sheer volume of rain has fallen on that. I have never seen the roads like it and there is debris everywhere."
Powys County Council is asking people to stay indoors as it deals with the impact from Storm Dennis.
A spokesman for the authority said: “Storm Dennis has had a major impact in the county with roads impassable due to flooding and some towns and villages being cut of due to flood water.
“Our staff are working extremely hard to deal with the impact. However we would urge residents to remain indoors and do not travel unless it is vital.”
Aerial pictures show the extent of the flooding in the market town.
