The evacuation of Whaley Bridge has had a huge effect on businesses - in particular the small, independent firms.
Fred Salmon has been running his bicycle business from a car park outside a warehouse in Denton, Greater Manchester.
He said they had managed to dispatch some orders but it had been "a huge challenge".
"It's a little bit frustrating," he said. "We're just praying that by the weekend we're back and we can sort it out."
Personal trainer Alex Barwell said he had to leave everything behind in Whaley Bridge and has lost out on sessions the last few days.
"It's complete standstill, my business," he said.
"People have paid their memberships so the classes I have had to cancel is money out of people's pockets and that's the worrying thing for me. I'm buzzing for it to be back open again."
