The terrible incident in Cumbria has left some in utter desperation. Some have had to leave their homes and flee some are now homeless. The same thing that happened in 2005, 2009 and now in 2015 has struck again! FLOODS!
All around Cumbria the houses have been drenched. People walked out their doors to find their garbage bin was floating around in water. The flood defences were powerless against the rising water. As water poured in people tried to take the best refuge they could. Trying to do anything about it was useless. They had to wait to be rescued by the help of soldiers.
One lady said “I’m going to stay here in Cumbria even if the only thing I can do is clean the windows.” “Doesn’t sound like much of a Christmas to me”, said an eyewitness. So as some retreat others stay behind and repair the damage.Coming at this time of year has ruined some families Christmas.
David Cameron says the flood defences will have to improve and this kind of flooding should be stoped in the future.
