Nearly a week after the rain deluge across central and southern England, the EA said six severe flood warnings and 20 flood warnings remain in place as hundreds of people are forced to seek shelter in emergency accommodation. Running water is being restored to 10,000 homes in Gloucestershire but residents have been warned it is not safe to drink.
