This was the devastation facing residents and businesses in Walcott as they joined forces to rebuild their community after Thursday's floods.
Volunteers joined homeowners and shopkeepers yesterday to clear sand, debris and silt from their premises.
Businesses have vowed to reopen soon but many residents now face a long wait before they can return to their homes.
