British weather turned harsh as storm-force winds and non-stop rain hit England and Wales last weekend (making life hard for many local home-owners). The weather system – named Storm Bert by weather experts – brought serious problems to many regions
Rain-soaked areas got hit with about 5 inches of water; while wind-speeds reached 80 miles-per-hour: this mix created a real mess for towns and villages. Many roads turned into small rivers and house-owners had to deal with water getting into their homes
Transport systems got hit hard too‚ with train companies stopping many routes due to flooded tracks. More than 180 flood-warning signs stayed active on monday morning; which meant danger wasnt over yet. Rivers in many places couldnt handle all the water – making them overflow onto nearby streets and fields
