We were part of that figure. Unfortunately our Christmas ended up clouded by floods, no heating or light and constant worry about whether our home was going to be under 3ft of water when we got home.
We had to leave our town on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day because we had no power so couldn't cook, didn't have any heating, lighting, wifi, phone etc. It was awful. Honestly I didn't appreciate electricity enough until it was gone.
We were fortunate that our home didn't get flooded and that although our Christmas wasn't spent at home we live close to our family and could spend our holiday with then.
Here are some pictures of our town on Christmas Day.
This is the main road leading out of our town.
This was a field before the river burst it's banks.
This is the access to our train station which was completely flooded also.
The water levels have dropped a lot now so fingers crossed we can hold off with the rain.
I hope you have all had a happy Christmas and enjoy the new year celebrations.
