Homes remain under threat from rising flood levels
Warning have come from the Environment Agency with further rain to fall in the week.
Homes remain under threat as river levels threaten to breach flood barriers, and more misery is expected with further heavy rain forecast to fall on already affected areas of the UK.
Hundreds of properties have been flooded as a result of lashing rain which battered the UK during Storm Dennis and caused rivers to reach record levels.
The Environment Agency has warned that levels on the Rivers Wye and Severn will remain especially high into the weekend, after both broke records this week.
The River Severn was continuing to rise, threatening homes and properties in the Midlands, with fears barriers would be overtopped.
Residents in the Shropshire towns of Ironbridge and Bridgnorth were urged to evacuate their properties, and warned if they failed to do so they could be putting their own lives and those of the emergency services at risk.
