Region braced for more storms
Tuesday 17th November 2009, 11:01AM GMT.
Strong winds and rain were expected to continue to sweep through Shropshire and Mid Wales today as homeowners living on the River Severn remained on flood watch.
Forecasters say a lot of rain is expected in Wales over the next couple of days, with water levels rising in the Severn as a result.
Meanwhile, winds could reach 40mph, though not as much rain is expected in Shropshire.
The Environment Agency said the River Severn, including around Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth, and the Severn Vyrnwy confluence in Mid Wales and Oswestry were still on flood watch today, with homeowners urged to stay vigilant.
Shropshire Star weatherman John Warner said: “I don’t think Shropshire will get any flooding, certainly no more than it already had, but the water levels in the Severn are likely to rise because of all the rain in Wales.”
