Local farmers in the area are having to relocate their live stock to higher ground over safety fears for their animals.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police has said that over 80 homes in the village of Moorland in Somerset have been evacuated, but a small amount of residents have decided to stay in their homes.
