Streets in parts of Cumbria ran with fast-flowing water after more rain fell across the county on Tuesday night. Firefighters attended eight incidents, rescuing several residents including a woman in her 70s.
The Environment Agency has issued flood warnings across parts of north-west and north-east England and Wales, and is warning of potential travel disruption over the Christmas period. In Cumbria, which has been worst hit this winter, flood warnings have been issued for Appleby, Carlisle, Kendal and Keswick.
With Storm Eva hitting areas already affected by Storm Desmond, we’d like to hear how the flooding is affecting you. Have you already prepared a flood clean-up this year? How are you preparing for the coming weather? We’ll feature some of your stories on the site.
Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security is most important. When responding to this assignment, please make sure you put your safety and the safety of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
