Floods Sweep Wales and England Leaving Three Missing
A 24 hour downpour sent floodwaters across Wales and western England. A child and two men were swept away, with Severn and Wye rivers flood lit. In Newtown and Severn hundreds of homes flooded seven to eight feet deep. Bridges and rail lines blocked, Aberystwyth cut off. A 6 year old girl swept away at Aberkenfig and a 20 year old man lost from a capsized ferry at Hampton Lode. Robert James, 18, vanished after a ferry broke free near Bridgnorth. One crewman was rescued downstream. Manchester endured its wettest Sunday since 1877.
