Storm Desmond: How do Cumbria floods compare?

Storm Desmond battered north-west England, as well as parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and southern Scotland, over the weekend.

Record-breaking amounts of rain fell in Cumbria - the worst-hit county - prompting it to declare a major incident.

Cumbria was also hit badly by floods in 2005 and 2009.
