Storm Christoph triggers flooding across the UK as hundreds evacuated

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Storm Christoph triggers flooding across the UK as hundreds evacuated” – below is their description.

Hundreds of people were being evacuated from their homes overnight as Storm Christoph caused widespread flooding across the UK.

Some 2,000 properties in the East Didsbury, West Didsbury and Northenden areas of Greater Manchester were due to be evacuated on Wednesday night because of rising water levels, the city council said.

People were also asked to leave their homes in parts of Ruthin and Bangor on Dee in North Wales, and Maghull in Merseyside.

It comes as heavy rain and snow continued to fall across England and Wales, with many rivers at “dangerously high levels”, the Environment Agency said.
