"This is the third time in seven years that this part of Calderdale has been flooded and people are fed up, people are angry.

"What's going on here this lunchtime, is that you've got West Yorkshire fire and rescue service here, helping to pump out all those businesses across the road, where the cellars were flooded.

"The water was quite high yesterday, all these businesses have had to chuck out their belongings because they're been ruined by floodwater.

"We were at Mytholmroyd a little while ago, people are really angry there.

"A huge flood defence scheme is in the process of being built.

"It was totally overwhelmed yesterday, and now they're back to square one.

"The flood water is subsiding... but a big clear-up operation is going on at the moment in this part of West Yorkshire.

BBC Radio 5 Live

BBC Radio 5 Live’s Danni Hewson is at The Shibden Mill Inn, a pub near Halifax which was flooded yesterday. The chairs are stacked on the tables and the carpets have been ripped up.

“It’s pretty devastating to be honest," said owner Max Heaton.

"We came in at 07:00 GMT on Sunday, there were small leaks in the corners of the rooms downstairs and the kitchen, we managed the situation and thought we were ready for opening...

"And then all of a sudden there were about 15 of us sweeping away standing water gushing in from all angles – we were fighting a losing battle."

They made the decision not to open at 11:30 AM and now it's a race against time to be open for Valentines Day.

The pub does have insurance, and Max thinks the work done yesterday prevented more damage: “I’m really lucky to have had the full team on the day, because I think the damage would have been worse.”

General manager Glen Pearson said Sunday is usually one of their busiest days: "We do well in excess of 200 covers on a Sunday, we had 140 pre-bookings so we're pretty devastated, that’s a lot of turnover to lose when you’ve got wages to pay."

It is believed that the car that fell into a sinkhole in Essex was being driven when the hole opened up, although the driver is said to have escaped uninjured.

Gordon Humphrey, who lives nearby, told the PA news agency he and his wife heard a bang.

He told the Press Association they initially believed a fence panel had popped out, before seeing a car in the hole.

"You could hear the water bubbling, see the taillights and there was a smell of gas," he said.

Mr Humphrey said his wife Lesley, 59, called the emergency services and they were told to leave their house before it was later declared safe to return.

The fire service said they made the scene safe by about 04:00 GMT before handing the scene over to Anglian Water.

Anglian Water said it was working out whether any of its pipes had been damaged.

"All in all it's an absolute disaster."

Mrs Duerden said: "It's not just a little bit of a mess you have to clean up, it's the building itself needs a lot of work on it.

"We have been at it for 31 years.

"Jon is in his 70s, I'm in my 60s, we just can't keep doing this."

Mark Tewkesbury was in command of an RNLI lifeboat that almost capsized off the Hastings coast after rescuing a missing surfer on Sunday.

He described how the crew had been trying to come ashore as the boat began losing power and they were forced to abort the landing.

As they scrambled to get back into safe water, the boat was hit by a huge wave.

He said: "As a crew, we can talk the theory on how to deal with that situation, but the practicality just doesn't happen.

"It's only in that real-life situation, you can't practise that.

"It's fair to say that we knew what to expect, we knew how the boat was going to react, and everybody kept to their roles and worked very well to get us back out of the situation."

A bed and breakfast owner in the Borders has described witnessing his business partially collapse during Storm Ciara.

Parts of the Bridge House guest house in Hawick and a neighbouring restaurant were washed away in the River Teviot.
