Deadly flood hits England and Wales


Deadly flood hits northern England and Wales for last few days.
UK met office has issued "Red Warning" for winds of greater than 85 mph across northern England and Wales. According to BBC, a person has died so far. I have collected some photographs of flood from various websites.
Streets have been flooded in coastal areas as high spring tides and gale force winds swept in from the Atlantic. Hundreds of homes were evacuated and residents in other areas were warned to keep a bag packed in case they had to leave their homes at short notice. Above, Telegraph photographer Paul Grover captures the moment a huge wave crashes into the sea wall at Ilfracombe, North Devon.
