00:00 - Puss caught on camera as he paws-ed to see what was going on at our Severnside South flood barriers, #Bewdley, last week. Guess he was feline unhappy about all that water, but barriers helped prevent a cat-astrophe. He's now cat-egorically #floodaware. Salmon for dinner? #catpuns

- Tonight we'll start storing water in the Till washlands to reduce flood risk to #Lincoln. It's only been used 5 times before - here's what it looked like in 2007 at 90% full. Please check our flood alerts & warnings here: gov.uk/flood #floodaware
