Severe Floods Hit the U.K.

Wave of Tragedy
Waves crash over the harbor in Porthcawl, Wales. Up in Cumbria, England, the body of a man found after a bridge collapsed over a flooded river has been named as policeman Bill Barker. He was directing motorists off the bridge when it caved in. Prime Minister Gordon Brown described him as a "very heroic, very brave man."
