Twelve severe flood warnings have been issued for the UK with people urged to stay extra vigilant as the country prepares for more storms.
That's the Environment Agency's highest category of warning, indicating a danger to life and property, affecting Devon and Cornwall in south-west England..
They include Exmouth to Lyme Regis, including the sea front areas of Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Seaton; and from Start Point to Dawlish Warren, including the low lying communities of Beesands, Torcross, Slapton, Torbay and Dawlish, as well as Wadebridge and Bude.
Around 290 weather warnings and alerts are also in place affecting every region of England and Wales.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson chaired an emergency meeting earlier in response to flooding that has wreaked havoc.
"We had a range of ministers from right across government attending, who will be working very closely with local councils, power companies, utilities and transport companies, making sure that all those organisations are absolutely prepared for the bad weather that is coming," he said.
"I would appeal to everyone to keep in very close touch with the warnings that are being put out on a regular basis by the Environment Agency, to pay heed to them, as these floods and the coast will be dangerous."
Strong winds of up to 60 to 70 mph, heavy downpours and more flooding is forecast over the coming days.
"It is going to remain stormy for the rest of the week, even into the start of next week as well."
