Weather Wreaks Havoc - Year 7 Flooding
Heavy flooding is continuing to cause chaos after parts of Britain were drenched with a month's worth of rain in a single day.
Dozens of people have been trapped, homes flooded and cars stranded after torrential downpours saw up to 7cm of rain fall in 24 hours.
In Sutton Coldfield, 42 workers have now been freed after they were stuck inside a factory when the River Tame burst its banks.
Floodwaters were nearly two metres deep in places.
A search is under way for a 17-year-old soldier, who was swept away in Catterick, North Yorkshire.
Three soldiers fell into Risedale Beck on Hipswell Moor, near Catterick Garrison.
Two were rescued, but soldiers, police, mountain rescue teams and an RAF helicopter are involved in the hunt for the third soldier.
In Sheffield, rain storms forced schools to close and a nursing home to be evacuated.
A 14-year-old boy was rescued from a swollen stream in the Chapeltown area of Sheffield.
Further north in York, 2.5cm of rain fell in just six hours.
And in Durham, torrential downpours meant that the first day of the fourth Test between England and the West Indies was a wash out.
The Environment Agency has had more than 40 flood warnings in place for Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire.
Bingley, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, was a particularly wet spot, after being deluged with 7.1cm of rain in 24 hours.
