Monmouth floods: High street underwater as Storm Claudia sparks 'danger to life' warning
The picturesque town of Monmouth has been struck hard by intense flooding as Storm Claudia unleashes its fury. Heavy rainfall has transformed streets into rivers, leaving shops and homes submerged and creating dangerous conditions for residents.
Residents are grappling with the aftermath of the torrential downpour, which has caused the River Monnow to swell beyond its banks. As the water levels rise, emergency services have warned the public to stay vigilant and avoid affected areas. Local authorities are on high alert as they work to mitigate the impact of the flooding and assist those in need.
"Thoughts are with everyone affected by the severe flooding," stated Monmouth MP Catherine Fookes. The local community is rallying together to support each other during this challenging time, as many are left without access to their homes or businesses.
Predictions indicate that the tumultuous weather may continue, posing ongoing threats to safety and infrastructure. Experts are urging residents to remain cautious and heed any emergency advisories.
