When the Severn floods it's a complete PIA as most roads into the town centre are closed and the traffic is a complete nightmare. This is the second time in a month. The Environment Agency is too slow at building flood defences, so peoples' houses get flooded by stinking river water and sewage. Nice. We live on higher ground so we don't get flooded but I feel really sorry for those that do.
