you heard about those record levels on the river wye, they'd be near to that on the river severn in thele of days as well, but things are gradually beginning to improve. this morning. however, more pigs making their way down the river severn, perhaps bringing the river back up to levels we saw yesterday, terrible time especially for those people who thought they had been protected by flood defences but because the river has been so high, it has breach them. there's water everywhere, this is where two rivers meet and over the past few days it's been as high as anyone can remember. we came through this village with such force it knocked down this wall, leaving mayhem in its wake. that is the flood plain, this river a raging torrent, miles and miles of water. the green bank as the flood defence that protected the nearby village, it came over the top of that, the environment agency is pumping the water to allow people back into their properties. the water came up to about here. chris has been flooded before but not this badly and not since the defences were built. this was footage he shot y

it is the river wye, the river severn and trent. several flood warnings out there. the rise. just how long it takes for the strain to filter through the river systems, some is a mediate, it rains, it goes very quickly. 0thers, some is a mediate, it rains, it goes very quickly. others, it takes several days, so some of these drivers are still on the way up. so the storm has passed on, but the rain is forming into rivers? yes, we have such a huge amount of rain. this is not far away from ironbridge that we just saw on the map there, about a mile away. in terms of the rain, it has been huge amounts. compared to normal february levels, the average is 87. what's notable about these numbers is that most of these places are getting on double for what they would get in an average of february, and february is this this is clearly advised of the three winter months. —— statistically druggist of the is there more coming? ah, u nfortu nately is there more coming? ah, unfortunately it is. there are yellow warnings, they cover the welsh hills and higher parts of northern england
