England - Hundreds of homes were evacuated in a Derbyshire town on Thursday when a dam threatened to burst after being damaged during extreme rainfall. Around 1,400 people in 400 houses in Whaley Bridge were told to leave their properties with just minutes’ notice due to “an unprecedented, fast-moving, emergency situation” caused by heavy downpours. Toddbrook reservoir – which contains around 1.3m tonnes of water – suffered extensive damage during the flooding on Thursday, with images showing a huge hole in the dam wall.
