Erica Olivares, 49 said her local council had done nothing to help villagers in Yalding, Kent, where homes were severely damaged in the floods.
In a heated on-camera exchange with the Prime Minister, Ms Olivares said she had been left stranded in her home with no electricity.
She said: "We still have no electric. We need electric. As I say, the council, from Monday, we have been trying to contact them, but they have all decided to go on their holidays. Nothing."
Mr Cameron appeared rattled as he tried to defuse the confrontation by promising to contact the council himself. He then moved on to visit other homes and businesses in the area.
