Britain underwater after Storm Henk: Villages cut off, homes and schools submerged, drivers abandon cars and raw sewage spills onto footpaths after rivers burst their banks. Parts of Britain battered by Storm Henk have been warned to brace themselves for yet more downpours on Thursday that could trigger another phase of flooding, travel disruption and power cuts. The Met Office issued a yellow severe warning for a swath of southern Britain from Cornwall to East Anglia, including London, saying there was a chance of another 50mm of rain falling on already saturated ground, and there could also be hail and thunder. A cold weather alert has also been issued for the whole of England from Saturday by the UK Health Security Agency. Hundreds of people have already been evacuated from homes or rescued from vehicles because of Storm Henk, which brought winds of more than 90mph to some areas as well as heavy rain. Local farms have also been heavily impacted, with thousands of acres of crops and farmland sitting under floodwater left by Henk.
