I think those in Whalley had plenty of warning to get their precious items up to the second storey of their homes...or to safety.
They were given flood warnings at three am this morning.
Yes, you can replace furnishings, but it is the imbuggerance of waiting for insurance assessors and the processing of claims, plus this must be a very difficult time to sort out alternative accommodation.
I know this from recent personal experience. This time last year the whole ground floor of our home was unusable due to dry rot......it was a nightmare finding somewhere to stay, made harder because we have a cat.
