RESIDENTS in Exuma suffered "severe flooding" over the weekend, Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper said yesterday, adding a Royal Navy vessel has been called in to help pump out water from affected areas.

The island experienced knee-high floods gushing through the streets, roads cut off, and cars submerged under muddy water. While some residents were stuck in their homes as gallons of rainfall arose at their doorstep.

Mr Cooper, Exuma and Ragged Island MP, assured residents that help is on the way to assist with the massive flooding across Exuma.

"As you would be aware, we have experienced a significant amount of rain over the past few days that has caused severe flooding all across the mainland," Mr Cooper said in a statement.

Cindy Woods, who owns the Cross C Ranch north of Laramie and east of Rock River, Wyoming, told Cowboy State Daily meteorologist Don Day that the flash flood happened quickly with "tremendous force."
