The fire service warned people not to attempt to drive, walk or cycle through floodwater, because could contain dangers such as sewage, debris, open manhole covers and deep water.
Although the floods led to destruction and many losses, communities pulled together to provide food and water to emergency services, and help those who had been victims to the floods.
Herefordshire has thankfully not seen floods on this scale this since.
