🌧️ **Severe Flooding Hits Monmouth After Storm Claudia!** 🌧️
Storm Claudia has caused chaos in Monmouthshire, pushing the River Monnow to record-breaking levels! This surge has surpassed the floods we saw during Storm Dennis in 2020 and Storm Bert last year. The town of Monmouth is grappling with a deluge that has left communities underwater and a major incident declared.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is urging everyone to remain alert. Three severe flood warnings remain active on the River Monnow, with another on the River Wye. Even though Claudia’s worst rains have passed, these slow-rising rivers continue to pose a significant threat.
Emergency services, including firefighters, police, and rescue crews, are hard at work managing the recovery. There’s real danger to life, and caution is advised if you’re in affected areas. Please follow instructions from local authorities and check your travel routes before heading out. Safety first!
Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by these dramatic floods. Stay informed and keep checking the forecast for updates. Together, we’ll weather this storm. 💧💪
