More heavy rain and gale-force winds are sweeping across southern Britain as engineers try to reconnect more than 16,000 properties still without power.
South-west England has seen torrential rain, with strong winds in the Isles of Scilly and snow on higher ground.
Seventeen severe flood warnings remain in place in parts of Gloucestershire, Somerset, Berkshire and Surrey.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the government would "fight at every front to help people" hit by floods.
He said money would be no object in a "massive national effort", saying: "I want people to know that the government absolutely stands behind this relief effort."
