Hundreds of homeowners in England and Wales battle floodwaters after weekend storm

LA Times  

Rob, surname not given, walks through floodwater in Cwmtillery, Wales, on Monday as an apparent mudslide has forced people from their homes as Storm Bert continues to cause disruption in Cwmtillery, Wales. Hundreds of homeowners in England and Wales were battling floodwaters Monday morning after the second major storm of the winter brought widespread disruption to the U.K. Several rail operators canceled services as more than 180 flood warnings remained in place after Storm Bert lashed the country with heavy rains and wind gusts up to 80 mph over the weekend. A severe flood warning, meaning there is danger to life, was issued early Monday for areas near the River Nene in Northampton as water levels continued to rise. Among the hardest hit areas were parts of Wales, where residents of Pontypridd tried to protect their homes by using buckets to bail water over a flood wall and back into the River Taff.
