New flood warnings issued in England

After days of heavy rain, new flood warnings have been issued for Nottinghamshire in the UK – with parts of the River Trent reaching record levels. More than 200 flood warnings are in place across England as the government announces a raft of financial measures to help those impacted by the flooding. Communities have been swamped by the worst floods in two decades, while local business owners are frustrated that no one has come to help. The last few days with the heavy floods have made many wonder if the flooded conditions are the new normal. There have also been warnings of cold weather across the country when the flooding has already turned off the heating and electricity in many homes.
