Gloucestershire locals swapped cars for boats on Friday, as flooding forced them to paddle through the streets of the southwestern English county.
Major rivers across Britain were flooded after heavy rain, with the government issuing more than 300 flood warnings, travel operators announcing serious disruptions and around 1,000 homes suffering damage so far.
Addressing the floods, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said The Environment Agency understands the “urgency of what is happening,” has “people on the ground everywhere” and is responding appropriately and with all due haste.”
A succession of storms in recent weeks meant prolonged rainfall that started on Thursday fell on saturated ground and quickly caused already-swollen rivers and waterways to burst their banks across England and Wales. The storms have also caused flooding in other parts of Europe in recent days.
