Friday afternoon floods have affected the small community of Ynysboeth in the Cynon valley in South Wales. The residents have begun a cleanup of homes after Friday afternoon’s floods.

Ground floor rooms have been ruined by water, mud and debris. People had to go through chest-high waters in order to escape to safety. Most of them had lost their downstairs furniture, equipment and sanimental value items.
