Still not home two years after floods
Most of those affected are victims of secondary flooding, discovered months after the day the water swamped homes.
But Mrs Luther, 55, and her husband John, 60, along with their children Karen, 29, Anna, 22 and Matthew, 19 have now lived in a caravan in their garden at Nelson Road, west Hull, for two years.
On the second anniversary of the deluge, they are one of 75 households across the region who have been displaced from their homes since day one.
In total, there are still 360 displaced households – a majority of which are due to secondary flood victims.
The Luther family are still weeks away from being able to move back into their house due to the "catalogue of errors" they say they have faced with three sets of builders.
"I think I would have run away if someone had said to me it would be two years," said Mrs Luther.
"I can remember when the first insurance man came a few weeks after the flood and he said work would start in that October.
"We thought then 'oh no, we can't wait that long'."
But like many families, they did wait until that October until work was started.
Six months later, little progress had been made on the house and the family sacked the builders in favour of instructing their own.
But Mrs Luther said things went from bad to worse with the new builders and it was not until a third set were employed last autumn that things got slowly moving.
"I keep thinking we will get there one day," said Mrs Luther.
"We will have to get there one day. I'd do anything to get back in the house. I'm desperate to get back in the house.
"I can't take another winter in the van. It's horrendous in winter.
"We couldn't get any hot water because there was ice on the regulator.
"It was that damp that all the bed was wet under the mattress every morning, the sheets were soaked and the walls were running with water."
The family home is now almost ready to move back into.
The kitchen has been completed and the floors have now been fitted in the living room.
The builders have now finished and the family are left finishing painting the living room after a "botched" job by the decorators.
They hope to move back home within the next month after the carpets are laid.
