River Elwy broke its banks in north Wales
Residents of around 500 properties have been told to leave their homes after the River Elwy broke its banks in north Wales, the Huffington Post reports.
North-west England and Wales again felt the worst of the weather on Monday night, where winds reached up to 55mph and torrential rain continued to fall on already saturated ground.
Three people have died in the flooding and drivers and residents from across the UK face further flooding chaos, forecasters have warned.
A leisure centre has been set up to accommodate those evacuated from their homes in North Wales, while in Pickering, North Yorkshire, around 50 houses could be at risk of flooding, reported the BBC.
