As per the other reports, flood warnings had been issued late which caused more damage to the village. The people also claimed that they have been left with no support.

Speaking about the loss, Ms. Webb said:

‘When the flood came in as fast as it did on Friday, I remained at Truffle Lodge until 11 o’clock on Saturday morning, lost power and realized it was sensible that I had to leave.”

‘It is underwater, totally can’t operate at the moment and I don’t know for how long.’

Pam with heartbreaking tears further said:

‘My insurance company has excluded flood from my policy. I feel really selfish in saying this and I hope that other people aren’t in this boat but I’ve lost my home and my business and my livelihood that I’ve worked so hard for.”

As per her, the flood has hit the village in 100 years and the low expectations led to ignorance and more damage.

‘Fishlake has never flooded in 100 years so my, if you want to say, anger is… why has it now flooded? You know, it’s happened so we need to now establish why and how and who should be accountable.”

‘Is it the flood defenses that weren’t sufficient to hold it? Did something give at some other point?

‘I’m not taking anything away from Sheffield, that’s great work was done there, but has it exacerbated the problem down here and we’ve now got a bigger problem here because of what happened there?’

Here is the heartbreaking video of the damages caused by the flood.

Hope the government will soon find a way to help victims.
