The Royal Family of Britain, Princes William and Harry have stepped in to salvage the flood victims from a major storm off the Atlantic in their country. The worst hit community Berkshire and
Surrey were most affected by the flooding of River Thames. Prince William visited Datchet, west of London at 6 a.m. local time.
Nearly 6,000 homes have been inundated along the Thames Valley and elsewhere following England’s wettest January in 2½ centuries.
The weekends in Britain will also follow the same weather conditions. Some communities in low-lying areas of Somerset, in southwest England, have been under water since December.
There will be more flooding in the Thames over the weekend as the river reaches its highest level in 60 years. A powerful Atlantic storm that is blowing in on Friday will add to people’s woes.
450,000 properties were affected by power outages as a result of Wednesday’s storm. Almost all of Wales, 16000 of them went without power, high winds could cause new problems said the Energy Networks Association.
Trains have been delayed, in the coastal regions main rail line to the southwest collapsed after high seas pummeled it.
Most of England has been flooded, even the well-heeled communities along with Maidenhead and Windsor, where Queen Elizabeth has a castle has been flooded.
Te climatic conditions in the U.K. are not going to improve soon, however Central London has been saved from flooding.
