Many will have turned on the television this morning to see a another massive evacuation of a town following major flooding.
Having worked nights, events were monitored on sky news and I take my hat off to all the emergency services involved in such dangerous conditions, lifeboat crews working along side the Coastguard and Fire teams, a Coastguard truck towing a lifeboat to the scene, usually the sea but in this case a flooded high street where buildings and signage caused even greater hazards.
Helicopter crews working just above roofs plucking flooded house holders to safety, over 200 people brought to safety.
Then sadly at lunchtime news came of a Police Officer losing his life when a bridge collapsed, our thoughts are with his family and colleagues.
With more bad weather approaching the UK, we urge everyone to monitor information from the news, weather and environment agencies.
