Son rescues 96-year-old mother from rising floodwaters from Storm Franklin
He said he had never seen the River Severn so high.
He said by about 17:00 GMT on Sunday the lane near his house was "running like a river two or three inches deep across the whole width of the lane.
Mr Higgs said there was so much damage it will be months before his mother will be able to move back home."There's a film of mud on everything all the wooden furniture is ruined and in some of the soft furnishings, there's water coming out, so that'll have to go. "
