Flash flooding has caused damage to a dog rescue. Dozens of beds, toys, cleaning products and towels were ruined at Llanharan's Hope Rescue centre in Tuesday's torrential downpour.
Rain started pouring through the small gap between kennel roofs shortly after 5pm at the shelter on Llanharry Road, said its communications officer Laura Hallsmith. It came amid a Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms which saw various buildings flooded in areas including Port Talbot and Swansea.
Laura told WalesOnline: "Staff had to be called back and they were here until 8pm securing the building. The drainage system had overflowed and it was bringing dirt in. All the dogs were put in the back part of their kennel and shut in so the water didn't affect them. Staff were using buckets to get as much water out as possible.
