Weather is headline news on BBC1. Absolute chaos on the trains/roads.
The river Severn is rising expected to be 5metres above normal at

The flood barriers are up - and needed - here in Bewdley now; the river is
just starting to come over the banks. Already almost as high as it was for

became the highest mid-summer level in living memory.
