Parts of northern England and Scotland are on alert for potential flooding, as the remnants of the storm that hit the east coast of America arrives across the Atlantic.

Communities still recovering from the impact of flooding in December and early January are braced for further disruption, with gales and heavy rain expected.

“Southern Scotland, the west of England and Wales will be particularly affected” by the latest bout of rainfall, according to Laura Caldwell, a forecaster at MeteoGroup.

If you are experiencing flooding, or still in the process of recovering from the damage and disruption caused by the earlier floods, we would like to hear your experiences and stories.

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.
