My thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by flooding from #StormClaudia. A huge thank you to all the emergency services, MCC and everyone involved in helping people and making areas as safe as possible throughout the night. It is heartbreaking to see the devastation to homes and businesses in Monmouth, Abergavenny and across my region. If you are trying to get in touch with family members in Monmouth, electricity has been down and people have been evacuated to the Leisure Centre. All donations welcome to help those who didn’t have time to gather their belongings. I will update more when I find out more. ⚠️There are currently 4 severe flood warnings in force for: River Monnow at Watery Lane, Over Monnow River Wye at Monmouth defended areas River Monnow at Forge Road, Osbaston River Monnow at Skenfrith In addition there are 8 flood warnings and 39 flood alerts in place across Wales. Whilst the heaviest rainfall associated with #StormClaudia has now passed through, slow responding rivers will continue to rise. NRW are urging people to stay away from swollen riverbanks and do not to attempt to walk or drive through floodwater. If you have to travel, check your journey before setting out and follow any diversions in place. Keep checking the forecast and visit the NRW website for the latest flood warnings updated every 15 minutes ⬇️ orlo.uk/29j1W walesonline.co.uk/weather/st…
