"It was absolutely devastating. This dirty, nasty flood water submerged 6,000 homes and businesses along the valley."
Adrian Horton's memories of the flooding which hit parts of West Yorkshire during Christmas 2015 as Storm Eva battered the region remain clear 10 years on.
The storm hit Adrian's home town of Hebden Bridge, in the Calder Valley, as people were still celebrating Christmas.
It brought with it more than 2.4ins (60mm) of rain in a 24-hour period which followed two months of wet weather and saw river levels rise rapidly because of the saturated ground.
The Calder Valley was among the areas worst affected, with water cascading off hills and turning roads into rivers in towns like Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd.
Having endured six major floods since 2000, preparation for flooding has now become part of everyday life in places like Hebden Bridge - but the experiences of 2015 are scarred on the memories of many people.
"When we woke on Boxing Day, the river was touching our back garden wall," Katie Kimber, a Calderdale councillor, remembers.
"It was shocking - the volume and and the speed."
Meanwhile, fellow councillor Scott Patient says: "Everything changed in one moment."
"Every year, you think about what happened: waking up, water lapping at your door. Having to pull everything from downstairs, worrying about neighbours, your kids' school, looking at what seems like something out of a film," he says.
"The trauma, the PTSD, people who were stuck in their homes reliant on rescue. It stays with you."
Across West Yorkshire, communities suffered an estimated £150m worth of damage.
In Bradford, towns like Bingley, Shipley and Saltaire were worst hit.
Chris Hicks, chairman of Saltaire Cricket Club, says he "never wants to see" flooding like it again.
The club sits next to the River Aire, and in 2015 most of the ground was submerged, including the pavilion, two shipping containers full of equipment and the Half Moon Cafe.
"We talk about flooding once in 21 years, or once in 100 years - those are just statistics," he says.
"It was remarkable."
Once the river levels subsided, 328ft (100m) of silt was deposited on the outfield and it was only the sheer effort of staff, volunteers and players that saw the ground readied for the next season.
Mr Hicks, now 67, says: "The biggest difference now, in terms of mitigation, is the work they have done upstream.
"If you go up to Skipton, they let the flood plain flood, they let the water go where it wants to go.
"That has alleviated the problems downstream.
"In a situation like that, there really is nothing you can do, but I do have a store of sandbags which are readily accessible."
In Leeds, the River Aire reached its highest ever level of 17ft (5.2m) when Storm Eva struck.
Its normal flow rate of 15 tonnes per second turned into an unprecedented 360 tonnes of water per second.
James Lewis, now leader of Leeds City Council, remembers 26 December 2015 as "untold misery".
"The Boxing Day floods of 2015 directly impacted thousands of people and hundreds of businesses across the city," he says.
However, he says that 10 years on, the city can "take pride" in the response to the "dreadful day".
He praises what he calls the "decade of dedication, partnership working and teamwork that delivered some of the UK's most robust flood defence infrastructure".
The first phase of the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme, known as FAS 1, was completed in 2017.
FAS 1 stretches from Leeds Station to Woodlesford using technology that was the first of its kind in the UK.
The works involved merging the River Aire and canal at Knostrop Cut, building new embankments and two movable weirs at Knostrop and Crown Point.
Phase two introduced several miles of linear flood defences, pumping stations and flow control structures.
Meanwhile, a flood storage area near Calverley holds the equivalent of 720 Olympic-sized swimming pools' worth of water.
Lewis says: "We know that if the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme operates to its full potential just once, it will have saved more carbon cost than was used to build the entire infrastructure.
"While we can never fully eradicate the threat of flooding from rivers or surface water run-off, we can be very proud of the steps we have taken over the past decade to protect our beautiful city, its businesses and its people as we move forward into an uncertain future for our climate."
Back in the Calder Valley, echoes of the floodwaters which hit on 26 December 2015 are still visible a decade on.
On buildings, plaques on walls can be seen marking the levels which were reached by the water.
Hidden in plain sight along almost every door and window are brackets to which floodgates can be attached the moment a flood alert escalates to an urgent warning.
Some shops have signs which can transform into barriers, while others have valuable goods and electrics raised more than 3ft (1m) from the ground.
What could be mistaken as decorative cladding in pubs like The Albert in Hebden Bridge can be turned into shelving strong enough to hold detachable table tops and chairs.
Many stores have replaced carpets with hard materials such as wood or stone so mud and mess left behind by the water can be swilled away.
'Leaky dams'
As a direct result of the devastation in December 2015, the Slow the Flow charity was set up to prevent such a disaster from impacting towns again.
The charity works with the National Trust at nearby Hardcastle Crags and focuses on Natural Flood Management (NFM).
"We have now built over 1,000 'leaky dams'," Adrian explains.
Such deliberately leaky dams are made by putting branches and twigs across small waterways in a bid to reduce flooding.
At a flood summit held in West Yorkshire earlier this year, Floods Minister Emma Hardy told the BBC that Yorkshire was "leading the way" in NFM.
"This is a win for everyone because it is low-cost, because it involves volunteers, it is a win for nature and it is a win for flood protection.
"The answer is not always going to be nature and sometimes we have to raise river defences and put in big concrete defences, but NFM and Slow the Flow have a huge role to play."
