Wow. We’ve had a flooded basement a few times and it was purely hellish trying to clean it up. I cannot imagine how dreadful such flooding is. And don’t really wish to know first hand. That said, God bless you guys as you recover!
the water actually came up to the top of the awning on the Brown and Fincher shop but the biggest loss was to the pet shop directly oposite. They had left all the animals inside the shop on friday as the waters started to rise, by saturday morning they had all drowned. Perhaps now the local council will stop argueing about who will pay the bill for new sewers up the highstreet, and just get and do it.

Almost the same view, but with the water a little higher, is here on the BBC, picture 5.
