As the rain poured down on Sunday and Monday, the River Nene in Northamptonshire began to overflow, causing widespread flooding in nearby communities. The situation became dire for the residents of Cogenhoe Mill Holiday Park, who were forced to evacuate their homes as the floodwaters continued to rise.
The park, which is home to many caravan owners, was almost completely submerged, leaving the residents with no choice but to flee for safety. A spokesperson for the park stated that they were currently evacuating the park and keeping a close eye on the situation. Their main concern was the safety of their owners and guests, and they promised to keep everyone updated as new information became available.
Unfortunately, the park was not the only area affected by the flooding. In other parts of Northampton, five individuals and a dog were rescued from boats on the River Nene. The heavy rains had caused the river to burst its banks, engulfing a nearby houseboat. Thankfully, the firefighters were able to respond quickly and safely rescue the occupants before leading them to dry land.
The firefighters were also able to reach a separate boat that had sunk due to the rising waters. Fortunately, there were no individuals on board at the time of the incident. The fire service praised the efforts of their Swiftwater Rescue Technicians, who used rafts to rescue two people and a dog from the boats.
Despite the rain subsiding, flood warnings remained in place throughout Northampton and the surrounding areas. The situation became even more tragic when an elderly woman lost her life in a car accident caused by the flooding. Her car veered off the road and plunged into the river, where it became submerged. Sadly, she was trapped for up to four hours before her car was discovered.
The police have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the cause of the accident. As the community mourns this tragic loss, authorities continue to urge caution and vigilance as the flood warnings remain in effect. The safety and well-being of the residents are of utmost importance, and everyone is advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions during this challenging time.
