London : Parts of Britain were at "serious risk of flooding" Sunday as heavy rainfall across England and Wales was slowly easing, media reports said.
Britain's Environment Agency had issued eight severe flood warnings for the counties of Oxfordshire and Berkshire in southwest England and for parts of London, BBC reported.
Meanwhile in Worcestershire, more than 750 people were rescued from flooding, with around 100 being airlifted to safety by the Royal Air Force. More than 1,000 people spent the night in emergency shelters.
The floods are expected to cause damage running into "hundreds of millions" of pounds, according to estimates by the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
