support,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dawn, 52, of Oxford Street, agrees with this, saying: \u201cJust talking to other people who have been through the same thing helps. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnless you\u2019ve gone through it you can\u2019t possibly understand what it\u2019s like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dawn, who did not want to give her last name, and her son Jake, 24, are among many who have been forced out of their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n<p> Jake was the first to notice something was wrong.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cI woke up half past two in the morning because I thought I heard a noise. I thought it was just a leaky pipe, but then water started coming through the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI went upstairs and woke mum and dad up and plugged the front door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>His efforts were to no avail, and the water soon reached heights of up to three metres in the downstairs of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dawn said: \u201cThe water came in so fast. We were like \u2018Okay, what can we grab?\u2019 You\u2019re talking things like photos and personal belongings.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n<p>They went upstairs and waited to be rescued by the emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou looked down and it was a torrent. Cars were being carried away; the firemen were anchoring themselves to the lamp-posts because the current was taking them away,\u201d said Dawn. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dawn, her husband and Jake were eventually evacuated by residents driving 4x4s from nearby Nantgarw. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>The family have been able to find temporary housing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cWe\u2019re very lucky as a friend has gone to live with her partner for a while and she\u2019s given us her house. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what tends to happen in an area where you have this kind of community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>They were able to bring their two dogs along with them unharmed. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Sadly, not everyone has been so lucky with their pets. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Ms Peach said: \u201cPeople have lost pets; one man found his rabbit\u2019s hutch was floating in the garden. The rabbit had died.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne man\u2019s dog has drowned. There\u2019s lots of upsetting stories like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\"
