After huge storms in South West England, more than 8000 homes are without power.
The storms have also sent huge waves to the coastline which have damaged sea defences.
This is the wettest January recorded for some parts of Southern England since 1910.
The English Prime Minister announced that there would be £100 million for flood repairs over the next year.
There are warnings for more heavy rain and gale force winds to come in the next week.
