Lancashire was battered by three separate storms across December but the Wyre village of St Michael’s was one of the worst hit areas.
In 2015, Storm Desmond struck on December 9, Storm Eva hit on Christmas Eve and just as families thought the devastation was over, another storm hit on December 26 to complete their misery.
It caused misery for Lancashire residents, rivers burst their banks, homes were flooded and left without power, roads were closed and left whole communities cut off.
We take a look back at the pictures we took at the time, and during the following clean-up.
