Drone footage shows 'devastating' flooding in village
- 7 months ago
Dramatic drone pictures lay bare the devastating damage caused by killer Storm Babet after a village was flooded.
Footage taken by Harvey Morgans shows the streets of Sandiacre, Derbyshire, submerged in flood water.
The village, which has a population of around 9,000, was left under water after being battered by rain fall through Friday.
Harvey, a wedding photographer, put his drone up this morning (Saturday) to asses the damage and see if any shops were open.
But he was left stunned when he captured the soaked roads and motors that had been lost to the flooding.
It comes as 59 people and 12 animals were rescued from flooded homes in neighbouring Stapleford.
Derbyshire Fire Service urged people to avoid the area and stay out of flood waters.
In Sheffield, South Yorks., 120 homes have been evacuated in the Catcliffe area after devastating flooding.
The River Rother reached heights of 30.44m, exceeding the level it reached in 2007 when the area was ravaged by disastrous floods.
More than 260 flood warnings were still in place this afternoon (Sat), including three indicating a risk to life around the River Derwent in Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Fire Service said more than 100 people had to be rescued in the county on Friday, including 20 people at a care home in Duffield.
