Storm Christoph has brought widespread flooding, strong winds and snow to parts of the UK with South Yorkshire declaring a major incident.

People were ordered to evacuate homes in the East Didsbury, West Didsbury and Northenden areas of Greater Manchester on Wednesday night because of rising water levels, the city council said. Those living in parts of Ruthin and Bangor on Dee in North Wales, and Maghull in Merseyside have also been asked to leave their homes.

We would like to hear how you have been affected by Storm Christoph. If you are being evacuated, how are you coping amid Covid restrictions? We’d so like to see your pictures.
