Warnings of more heavy rain and thunderstorms in parts of the Midlands are in place as the region was hit by flash floods for the second night in a row.

The Met Office is predicting heavy rain and thunderstorms which may bring the risk of flooding and travel disruption.

Watch the below video to see how some of the region was hit by flash floods last night.

Ryan Shelton from Ilkeston in Derbyshire Tweeted the below video after his street was submerged and said the flooding was “worse than ever”.

He added that it was"quite scary" how 20 minutes of rain from 5.30pm left 4ft (1.2m) of floodwater.

Floodgates protected the front of his home, but water entered the back via sewage pipes leaving a "dreadful" scene.

He said residents were given only six sandbags to protect 20 houses, and they worked to unblock drains on the street themselves.

He added: "Unfortunately it left devastation in its wake in terms of the debris on the road, multiple cars had been flooded out."

Another video shared online by @UKCloudComms showed cars driving through the flooded Stratford Road in Birmingham on Wednesday.

Shoppers in Birmingham braved the weather to grab a bargain following non-essential shops re-opening this week.

A Met Office yellow warning was in place until noon on Thursday which stretched across the Midlands.

As of 13.35pm on Thursday, the Environment Agency had five flood alerts in place for England in areas around Birmingham, Solihull, Tamworth, Loughborough and south of Wolverhampton.

These advise people to "be prepared" as flooding is possible.
