Summary:

Nearly ninety people have been rescued from homes and caravans this morning after freak flooding struck West Wales. Stranded holidaymakers have been helped in a large-scale rescue operation after water swept through caravan parks and villages near Aberystwyth. Residents remain trapped in buildings but emergency rescue teams have hit the area with inflatables and continue to evacuate people. One RNLI rescue crew even required airlifting themselves from the torrents of water after becoming stranded during rescue attempts. Local residents have resorted to sheltering in secure community buildings and local pubs. There are also some people who decided to stay and do not want to be rescued.

Reaction:

I already get grumpy if it rains a lot during my holiday, imagine what would happen if a flood like this struck your caravan park. It is a good thing Wales apparently has such a good rescue team, or things could have ended a lot worse. I think it is a little ironic that one of the crews had to be rescued themselves. However, the people who have been rescued are okay now and they probably have a pretty good time since they have been brought to local pubs. So this story has a pretty good ending.
