Storms batter UK flood alerts issued by officials
Central England and Wales faced rising river levels after weekend rain with eight severe flood warnings in effect for the Severn Wye and Lugg and about 150 lighter alerts. Monmouth saw the River Wye top 23 feet as residents used canoes and a rescued man was saved by raft while Welsh Water fought to restore treatment plants. Storm Dennis caused three deaths and disrupted travel as authorities warned that conditions could worsen with more rain likely.
