FIREFIGHTERS were called following a flood at a DIY superstore in
Swansea on Christmas Day morning.
Crews went out to B&Q on Gorseinon Road in Penllergaer at 7.11am as
rainwater started pouring in.
A fire service spokesman said: ?Approximately half an inch of water is
covering 50 per cent of the store and was affecting the electricity
supply.
?Fire crews inspected the external drainage system and the roof of the
property as well.
?The electricity board is on route.?

Unless the water came down the walls that housed the electricity. (Seems pretty straight forward to me.)

Did it say what the water level was outside or how much storm damage had been caused by heavy winds?

That'll not be a recommendation for B&Q self-levelling floor screed, then.
