Flooded Tewkesbury ‘cut off’ after Storm Henk as homes evacuated across UK

Tewkesbury was effectively cut off by flooding caused by Storm Henk[1] on Thursday night as homes across the country were evacuated. Hundreds of homes have been flooded and several villages left partly submerged, forcing one council to declare a major incident as rivers burst their banks and reached their highest level for 20 years in some areas. On another day of disruption, commuters were warned on Thursday they might not make it home as extreme weather caused fresh delays to rail journeys[2], with more delays expected on Friday as heavy rain hits the south of England overnight.

Tewkesbury, the medieval market town known for its historic abbey in Gloucestershire, was left with only one way in and out on Thursday, with main roads shut or submerged due to flooding. Parts of nearby Gloucester were also flooded, with fire and rescue services seen in a dinghy on Sandhurst Lane which was closed. Elsewhere along the Severn, Worcester was also affected while in Shrewsbury, Quarry Park was among the areas submerged after heavy rainfall.

Further upstream in Ironbridge, Shropshire, residents were braced for flooding as 450 tons of water a second was held back by barriers protecting the historic town. Nottinghamshire was among the worst-hit areas, with at least 100 properties in 16 areas flooded and another 500 homes evacuated as the council declared a major incident.

In Tewkesbury, Reverend Canon Nick Davies, the vicar of the 12th-century abbey which famously stays dry when the rest of the town is submerged, said that the floods were worse than the disastrous weather which swept Gloucestershire in 2007. He told The Telegraph: "At the moment there is only one way in and out.

People are saying these are the worst floods since 2007. Some have water coming in from the rivers, other people have got it coming up through the floor. "At the abbey, we are an arc in the middle of the flood and my job is to be there for the community."

Revd Canon Davies added that he became vicar in September but had "got a sense of perspective" compared to the town's regular floods from residents who were able to compare where the water had reached on their roads. "Tewkesbury is a resilient place, people are pulling together, people will pick themselves up, we've been through this before. "All of Tewkesbury is taking it one day at a time, we wake up, we check the flood warning and we take it from there."

Two flood warnings in Tewkesbury remained in place on Thursday night alongside more than 500 alerts in place across the country as more heavy rainfall was expected in southern England overnight.

Warnings of more flooding and travel disruption

A yellow weather warning is in place across all of southern England, East Anglia and parts of the Midlands until 3am on Friday, with the Met Office predicting there could be "further flooding and travel disruption". Nottinghamshire County Council said it was declaring a major incident due to rising levels along the river Trent which it said could "come close to the highest levels on record from the year 2000". Among the areas in the county affected was Radcliffe-on-Trent where residents said it was the worst flooding for two decades.

Laurie Walker, chairman of Radcliffe Park Residents' Association, an estate for the over-55s where about six homes were evacuated, described the flooding as "like a river outside their front doors". "Some were evacuated last night. There's one gentleman who is quite poorly and during the previous flood he had to be airlifted out and put in a local home.

"I've had someone knock on my door to say the water is going to rise another 25cm. Outside their front doors it's like a river, I don't know if the homes have been flooded." Fire services around the country also urged people not to drive through flood water and to plan ahead, while the London Fire Brigade warned of possible flooding in the capital where commuters were soaked as they crossed Westminster Bridge.

In Oxfordshire, a police force referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) after an 87-year-old woman died when she hit a tree police had been warned about an hour and a half earlier. Thames Valley police made a mandatory referral to the watchdog after the crash shortly before 5.20pm on Tuesday near Goring, where officers were aware that a tree had brought down power lines at the same location. It comes after a man aged in his 50s died when a tree fell on his car in Gloucestershire just after 3pm on Tuesday afternoon.

It is understood that as many as 800 homes were without power on Wednesday evening. Disruption is expected to continue on Friday after commuters were warned on Thursday afternoon that they might not make it home as extreme weather caused fresh delays to rail journeys. South Western Railway had warned that "extreme rainfall" until the end of the day meant customers travelling south of Guildford or west of Basingstoke should expect "severe disruption".

It said services later on Thursday evening would likely be affected by a "significant knock-on impact" meaning further disruption and urged customers to check before they travel, travel earlier or expect delays and cancellations. Great Western Rail, which runs services westwards from London, urged people to travel before 3pm warning services in Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall were at risk of flooding. The operator said it would assess how flooding impacts the network overnight before updating its advice on Friday morning.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning[3] from 12pm on Thursday, with rainfall expected to travel in a north-east direction across the south of England, lasting until 3am on Friday. It added there is a "small chance" that communities could become cut off by flooded roads and that rain falling overnight would land on already saturated ground after Storm Henk that battered the UK on Tuesday. It said: "The track of the heaviest rainfall remains very uncertain, but there is a chance of 20 to 30 millimetres falling in six to nine hours across a portion of the warning area, with a few places perhaps seeing 40 to 50 millimetres.

"Impacts are more likely due to the current very wet ground across the region."

87 year old driver dies after hitting fallen tree

An elderly woman driver has died after hitting a fallen tree which had been reported fallen to police about 90 minutes earlier as Storm Henk battered the country. The 87-year-old, who has not been named, was in a red Smart Forfour when she collided with it near Crays Pond, Oxfordshire, at about 5.25pm on Tuesday.

Thames Valley Police has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) as the fallen tree was one of a number of similar reports received approximately an hour and a half before the collision.

Flooding reveals English Civil War fort built by Oliver Cromwell

The clear outline of a 400-year-old English Civil War fort has been highlighted after heavy rain and flooding filled a moat around the earthworks following Storm Henk.

Aerial photos show The Earith Bulwark in the Cambridgeshire Fens, which was built around 1643 by Oliver Cromwell's forces to protect crossing points on the local rivers, including the River Great Ouse.

The fort, which is only revealed very rarely and after extreme flooding, is described by Historic England as "amongst the most elaborate fortifications" from the Civil War (1642-51) and it covers about 60 square metres with bastions at each of the four corners. The Earith Bulwark was built on a narrow strip of land known as the Hundred Foot Washes by Parliamentary forces to protect the bridge where the Huntingdon to Ely road crosses the river. It was strategically placed to command an important river crossing at the western end of the fen causeway which linked Huntingdon to the Isle of Ely, according to Historic England.

'This flood is an evil one'

A pub landlord whose premises have been flooded has said the latest flood has been "an evil one". Mario Thomas, landlord of The Boat Inn in Shropshire, said it is the third flood he has seen on his property in less than 12 months. He added that the pub is "prone to flooding" due to its proximity to the River Severn.

However Mr Thomas, who runs the business with his wife Lisa Thomas, said this has "been the worst of the three" and has "taken us by surprise, immensely". "It certainly made me cry (on Thursday) to see the devastation it's caused, it is unbelievable," Mr Thomas said. "It took us by complete shock and within literally hours, (the water) just kept rising so fast.

"The last two (floods) have been OK, but this one, this is an evil one." He estimated that the water is more than 4ft deep in the pub, saying it was up to his chest when he entered the building. The couple did not have time to get most of the furniture out of the building.

Residents 'suffering' as homes evacuated in Nottinghamshire

Ellen Walker, who lives on the edge of the River Trent, said: "We've been up most of the night because our vehicles were parked just at the borderline of where the flood was, and we had to move them overnight.

"It's highly unlikely we will flood, so I think everybody's been more sorry for the people over the road because they have had it so hard." Several homes on the street where she lives have flooded, with residents evacuated and power shut off. "The saddest part about it is, you know they are suffering, but there's nothing you can do.

If the flood comes in, it's going to come in and there's no way anybody can stop it," Ms Walker said. Local Councillor Roger Upton said: "I've lived in Radcliffe since 1975, and I've regularly come down here over the years and seen various floodings. It was bad in 1977, and it was bad in 2000, and in my opinion, this is the worst I've seen in those years.

"We have managed to evacuate some residents that live on the river bank of the Trent, some locally but the majority to Gamston, where the borough council has agreed to a hotel behind a pub there, so that's good. "It is worrying. All the water in the River Trent, from Staffordshire, Derbyshire, the River Dove, the River Soar, all the rivers, it all comes through here eventually and it's that time lag.

When the rain stops, it takes days for it to come through here."

Disruption on Gatwick Express, Southern and Thameslink services

Trains are currently not running between Brighton and Lewes. Services will be cancelled, terminated away from the area, or diverted via Wivelsfield.

Southern tickets are currently being accepted on local Brighton and Hove buses. National Rail have told customers not to travel between Havant and Southampton Central. There are multiple reports of flooding on the line, meaning Southern services are not running.

The train operator is unable to recommend any alternative routes at this time. Customers are strongly advised to consider whether travel between Havant and Porstmouth Harbour is necessary as repairs to a signalling fault are being prevented by poor weather conditions. Tickets will be accepted on alternative SWR and GWR services in the area where they are running.

A landslip at Arlesley is causing delays and some service changes between Hitchin and Peterborough. Find out more about affected routes and alternative methods of transport here[23].

'You can't walk into the town centre or even walk along the footpath'

James Hopkins from Shrewsbury said it was "a bit of a shock" on Thursday morning when he woke to see the flooding outside his home. Mr Hopkins lives opposite the River Severn on Benbow Quay, where he said some residents in flats have been stranded in their homes, although he can get out.

He said: "I've lived here 18 months and this is the first time we've been cut off. It was a bit of a shock this morning when I woke up, especially seeing how far it had come. "Nobody (in the flats) is affected as they built them so high up, it's just getting out.

I can get out of mine, but not those further down. You can't walk into the town centre or even walk along the footpath. "Somebody told me it comes over to the road but I never expected it to come to the foundations of the flats, it was a bit of a shock.

"You've got to feel for the people who live 100ft down the road because it'll be in their houses. It's horrendous."

5:28PM[26]

Commuters warned they may not make it home as 'extreme rainfall' hits trains

As a yellow weather warning for rain came into force across the south of England, train operators warned of delays and short notice cancellations, Neil Johnston reports. South Western Railway and Great Western Rail advised that severe disruption should be expected on some of their train lines and that customers should check before travelling.

River Trent at 'highest level in more than 20 years'

Anne McLeod, chairwoman of Radcliffe-on-Trent Parish Council, said the water level of the River Trent is at the highest she has seen in more than 20 years. Several people who live in Radcliffe Residential Park next to the river have been moved out of static caravans and into a nearby hotel after several properties flooded. Ms McLeod said: "It's directly adjacent to the Trent so they get it quite badly, but in my memory, and I've lived in Radcliffe since 1975, this is the highest it's been since 2000 when it last flooded that area."

The Environment Agency's hydrometry team, using a remote-controlled ARC boat, recorded the largest ever instantaneous flow of water on the River Trent in Burton of 365m3/s earlier today. Upstream, the River Trent at Shardlow was peaking this afternoon at 450 tonnes per second.

Local hydrometry teams are out using the remote ARC boat in West Midlands area today on the River Trent in Burton, resulting in the largest ever measured instantaneous flow in WMD-East with 365m3/s.

London Fire Brigade issues advice amid flood warnings

To prepare for floods in areas with flood alerts, the fire service has advised residents to pack medicines and insurance documents, and to visit the flood warning information service.

In areas with a flood warning, London Fire Brigade said to move things upstairs or to safety, to turn off gas, water, and electricity, and to move family, pets and cars to safety. In areas with severe flood warnings, residents should follow emergency services' advice, call 999 if there is immediate danger, and stay safe.

MSP 'frustrated' with Scottish Government over flood funds

Liberal Democrat MSP Willie Rennie has criticised the Scottish Government's response to Storm Gerrit.

In a video posted to X, the member for North East Fife demanded a "change of heart" from the government to make grants available to residents affected by the "devastating floods". He also wrote: "I'm frustrated that the Scottish Government has rejected my call for flood funds to be available for Fife businesses and residents who were flooded with Storm Gerrit. "They provided them for Angus after Storm Babet so why not Fife now?"

Thousands of acres of crops underwater

The National Farmers Union (NFU) fear that many crops will not survive the winter as thousands of acres of productive farmland remains underwater because of flooding. Tom Bradshaw, deputy president of the NFU, said: "Many crops are not going to survive the winter with the huge financial stress and misery that brings.

"With more than 100 flood warnings in place, the NFU will be monitoring the situation and supporting our members." Mr Bradshaw added that these recent spells of wet weather highlight "the need for government to recognise the strategic importance of domestic food production and urgently deliver solutions to mitigate the impact of flooding of farmland".
