Homes and businesses were inundated, with some properties losing power amid the severe weather. The storm’s impact was particularly striking in Wells, where a scheduled meeting on flooding and climate change was disrupted by the very conditions it aimed to address. The “Act to Adapt” workshop, organised by Wells City Council in partnership with Sustainable Wells, was designed to equip residents and businesses with strategies to manage flooding and extreme weather associated with climate change.
