A WOMAN died as 'Biblical' storms left a trail of destruction yesterday, with a month's worth of rain falling in just one day.

Britain is now on high alert for further devastation, with more downpours expected today. The woman died after being swept away by fast-flowing flood water, as the heavy rain saw rivers burst their banks. Her body was pulled from the River Derwent, in Darley Dale, Derbyshire, about two miles from where she was reported missing in Rowsley early yesterday morning. The death came as the Environment Agency repeated warnings for people to stay away from swollen rivers.
