A major incident was declared in a town in Scotland today with police evacuating homeowners from more than 500 properties over fears they could flood. An emergency centre in the Scottish Borders town of Hawick has been opened for evacuees and the local primary school shut as residents brace for the deluge. The Lake District was also hit by severe flooding today as the region was lashed by 'extreme' downpours with more than a foot of rain falling in just 36 hours - blocking roads, disrupting trains and flooding homes and buildings. Honister Pass in Cumbria has seen an extraordinary 335mm of rain fall in just 33 hours - well over a month's worth - after the Met Office warned of life-threatening floods in the region popular with holidaymakers. Kendal was among the tourist hotspots affected by the rising water levels today with the River Kent looking very swollen, while the clubhouse at Keswick Rugby Club was completely flooded as nearby roads turned into rivers.
