Storm Callum was classified by the Met Office as one of the most significant extreme rain events in the last 50 years. Winds of up to 73 miles an hour howled across the land and there was a deluge of rain.

Over 200 mm of rain – that’s nearly 8 inches -  fell in just 36 hours over some places, and water came in to over 300 houses.

 For Wyn Thomas and Tony Jones of Johnstown in Carmarthen, that water rose up two feet in just 20 minutes and destroyed their bungalows. They now have to wait whilst the properties dry out. It will most likely be six months before they can return home.

 Eye On Wales presenter Stephen Fairclough talks to Wyn and Tony about their experience, and asks what can be done to prevent this kind of flooding in future flash rain events.

He visits Llanelli and finds out about the work being done there to change the drainage system so it doesn't get overwhelmed in a heavy rain event. Welsh Water claim that as a result of their scheme, called Rainscape, 100 houses in Llanelli were saved from the fate that Tony and Wyn went through.
