RESIDENTS in Sully who were left helpless two days before Christmas when torrents of floodwater swept through their homes say they are living with anxiety every day. On the afternoon of December 23 couple Shirley and Stewart Murdoch were happily preparing for Christmas on what seemed an unremarkable day at their home on Winsford Road in the village. There had been some rainfall, “but nothing to worry about”, Mrs Murdoch said. A couple of hours later their home had been gutted by four feet of water, and they urgently tried to save what they could. They ran around to neighbours Sara and Ian King, whose home had also been wrecked.
