A devastated 90-year-old woman faces moving from her home for the second time in two years due to severe flooding in her street. Residents of Arfryn Terrace in Tylorstown, Rhondda Cynon Taf, were woken up early on Thursday to water in their homes.
Margaret Reed, 90, who has lived in the street for 67 years, said this was the second time her home had been destroyed. She said she was on the phone with her son when she realised the water had seeped into her living room from underneath the fireplace.
Speaking on Thursday she said: "I went downstairs and saw that the water had come through the fireplace all through the living room. My neighbours and friends came over this morning to get rid of my carpet because it was squelching as we walked on it." Margaret said her new carpet was only placed down less than 18 months ago and she will need to get a new one again after it was destroyed by the flood.
