Village evacuated after river cracks defence walls as floods hit swathes of Britain Wallington, in Hampshire, was one of many parts of Britain that were inundated, leaving motorists stranded on roads, cars submerged and even resulting in a caravan being washed away. Rivers burst their banks after some places saw more than a quarter of December's average total rainfall come down in a 13-hour period. The Environment Agency issued a severe flood warning for Wallington and said it would be "evacuated imminently" by Fareham Borough Council. In Moreton, near Bere Regis in Dorset, a caravan was washed into the river Fromen and swept away before being lodged against a small bridge amid swirling waters. In Hampshire, a father and daughter were reportedly rescued by a police community support officer from their car after it became submerged in a ford on the Sway to Brockenhurst road. Staff at Cornwall county council have also been out helping affected residents in a number of flood-hit villages. The Met Office said there would be some relief from the heavy rain tomorrow but there would be more heavy downpours on Saturday.
