County Times readers have shared their photos of the spectacular floods that were left in the aftermath of Storm Babet.
The storm left Powys at a standstill, with roads closed and water levels in the River Severn reaching near record levels at certain points- with a danger to life warning being issued in Llandrinio.
The village was given the warning after flood defences started overtopping and water levels at the local gauge was merely centimetres below its record level set in 2000.
Flood alerts are still in force in the Vyrnwy catchment and the Lower Severn catchment in Powys but water levels are now dropping.
