Storm Bert Triggers Severe Flooding and Evacuations in Northamptonshire

Hundreds of residents forced to flee as rising waters and 80mph winds devastate homes and infrastructure across the UK.

The Billing Aquadrome holiday park in Northamptonshire has been evacuated for the fourth time this year due to severe flooding caused by Storm Bert.
A 'danger to life' warning remains in place as water levels in the River Nene continue to rise, with fast-flowing floodwaters affecting nearby business parks and homes.
Emergency services, including fire and rescue teams, are assisting with evacuations, while displaced residents are being sheltered at Lings Forum Leisure Centre or booking temporary hotel stays.
Storm Bert has brought over 80% of November's average rainfall in less than 48 hours, leaving hundreds of homes underwater and causing widespread disruption across the UK, including road closures and halted rail services in Northampton.
Residents express frustration over the lack of long-term flood prevention measures, with some losing their life savings and others deciding to leave the area permanently.
