(LONDON) — Britain’s army was called in to help put down sandbags and evacuated people from their homes Sunday as stormy weather left the country’s northern towns and cities severely flooded. Storm Desmond’s torrential rain and strong winds swept across northwestern England and Scotland over the weekend. In Cumbria, known for its scenic Lake District National Park, officials say rainfall between Friday and Saturday likely exceeded an average month’s worth in the area. The deluge left the Cumbrian city of Carlisle and hundreds of homes submerged.
