Desmond's devastation: Storm whips up seas so high that massive car carrying ship gets enormous HOLE in its side as army are called in and floods wreak havoc across Cumbria and Scotland
David Cameron said Army officers had been mobilised to help those affected by the flooding, as water levels continued to rise today. Military personnel had to be brought in to help deal with severe weather in Carlisle as elderly people, children and pets were pulled from their homes. One elderly woman was carried from her flooded home in the city by an officer (bottom left), as a man climbed down ladders from the first floor of his property this morning with help from the Mountain Rescue (bottom right). Cars and houses were submerged in a street in Carlisle (top) as Storm Desmond brought severe disruption to areas of northern England. More than 1,000 people have been evacuated from houses in Cumbria and the Scottish borders and the Environment Agency has issued 186 flood warnings across Britain.
