Parts of Kent underwater as flooding hits

It might have been a weekend of sunshine for some but spare a thought for the residents of Kent.

Torrential downpours flooded roads, shops and even car parks, leaving many cars bobbing down the road. Trains were also cancelled.

Kent 999s tweeted these pictures:

A Sainsbury's supermarket had to shut up shop as the flooding affected this store in Northfleet.

The owners of these cars won't be best pleased after this car park became flooded in Gravesend.

But one man made the most of it by getting his surf board out.
