Flash Flood in the UK

I was watching the news, in particular the flooding in the South West? of the UK. News reports stated 6 helos winching victims from roof tops, with some pretty impressive footage of a yellow Sea King.

A question for the SAR boys in the larger ships, In that sort of situation where you have multiple casualties, and have to hover OGE winching without anywhere reasonable to put down, after each lift do you drop off those resuced, then go back out? Or do you make a few pick ups, then drop off?
