Marines and police have helped to evacuate residents in the Somerset village of Moorland after their flood defences were breached. One resident built a giant wall out of clay around his house to try to stem rising flood waters.
Hayley Matthews says she has "lost everything" because of the floods.
Ms Matthews, who lives in the village of Moorland, which has been largely evacuated due to the severity of the floods told ITV News:
"I'm now living in a caravan, my kids are living with their grandparents and we're just spread everywhere and there's just devastation. I've lost my house, I've lost my family, I've lost everything."
One resident built a giant clay wall to protect his house, but other locals could do nothing to stop the rising waters.
