I daresay you have heard of the extensive floods here in UK? The cause being heavy rain e.g. 1 month's rain falling recently in one day, which has now flooded huge swathes of northern England - first Cumbria, then Lancashire and now Yorkshire. 500 soldiers have been called in, the community are supporting each other well and there are calls to reappraise the current defence barricades. Over 6,500 homes are now without power and, of course, there has been a mass evacuation. I count myself fortunate that I live away from all this.
It affected Cumbria on the week before xmas which must be a double tragedy. They already suffered floods before this so I can only guess how traumatic and frustrating it must be to see your house dry out, replace appliances etc only to have the whole thing recur. Of course this then takes its toll on the cost of future insurance and ability to ever get out of their situation re. selling their property.
