Flooding and continuing rainfall are expected to hamper recovery efforts after three storms battered the UK.

Three people have died, flooding has forced evacuations and millions were left without power over The Last week by Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin.

More Than 120 flood warnings are in place, including two rare 'severe warnings' for the River Severn .

Homes and businesses have been evacuated in communities along that river due to High Water levels.

The Environment Agency has warned that parts of the West Midlands and the north of England should Be Prepared for significant flooding until Wednesday.

In Shropshire, people have been rescued and properties evacuated due to flooding and at Ironbridge two severe flood warnings have been issued - Meaning lives are in danger and the Severn barriers are expected to be breached.

A major incident has been declared in Bewdley, Worcestershire, and large parts of Shrewsbury town centre are under water.

Fourteen people and four dogs have been rescued from flooding in the Melverley area, close to The Banks of The River Vyrnwy, Shropshire Council confirmed.

The Met Office said that although there will not be a huge amount of rain on Tuesday, rainfall in areas already affected by flooding could significantly slow down recovery work.

Flood warnings remain in place near rivers in Wales, with some roads in Powys still submerged so the extent of Water Damage in The Local area remains unknown.

Storm Franklin was the third named storm in a week - Following Dudley and Eunice - the First Time this has happened since the storm-naming system was introduced in 2015.

The storms left 1. 4 million households without electricity, some for up to 72 hours, with wind speeds of over 100mph recorded during Eunice , in which three people died.

Just a few days later, The Heavy rainfall brought by Franklin brought flooding across the UK.

Nearly 30,000 homes were still without power as of Monday afternoon, including thousands in Kent, East and West Sussex and Surrey.

Transport networks have also been severely disrupted by the storms over The Course of The Last week, with trains, airports, ferries, roads and bridges closed due to wind and flooding.

National Rail said travellers should check before travelling on the railways on Tuesday ahead of a " small number of delays and alterations".
