UK’s New Orleans
It seems like the US isn’t the only developed country that can’t properly maintain its dykes. This doesn’t appear to be nearly as bad as New Orleans, but upsetting nonetheless.
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes amid severe flooding across England and Wales that has claimed at least three lives.
Hundreds of families in Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Shropshire have been moved to safety.
A motorist is feared to have been washed away in Worcestershire.
On Monday, a man and a teenage boy were swept to their deaths in Sheffield and another man died after becoming trapped in a storm drain in Hull.
About 900 people are using emergency shelters in Sheffield, and about 700 have left villages near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, amid fears the nearby Ulley dam could collapse.
Up to 26 severe flood warnings are still in place, but forecasters say the worst of the weather has passed.
