The Environment Agency has issued two severe flood warnings for the River Tyne at Corbridge. It says flooding is expected and residents in the area are being told to take immediate action.
One of the communities hard hit by Storm Desmond is Haydon Bridge in Northumberland, which lies on the River South Tyne.
It's the second time Avril Kirsopp's house has been flooded. Residents say the water hit here first, and many homes were affected..
Avril says the carpet was floating up the skirting board, and was over the top of her wellies. She struggled to get out of the house.
In an emotional interview with Frances Read, Avril said that the flooding has ruined her life.
The storm battered the region for hours but the impact on the lives of people in Haydon Bridge will last for months
County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service took almost 250 calls this weekend resulting in more than 200 emergency callouts
The Environment Agency has been working constantly to maintain defences, clear blockages, monitor water levels and issue flood warnings.
