Brits are being hit by storms bringing torrential rain, hailstone and flash flooding as it sweeps up the country with the main band currently over the north of England and southern Scotland.
Images show cars driving through floods, while people have had to be rescued from their homes and a house was hit by lightning in Essex.
There are currently two flood warnings and 34 alerts in place from the Environment Agency which are mainly in Yorkshire and Lancashire where the worst of the storms are currently striking.
