A danger to life flood warning has been issued near the River Ritec in Tenby as Storm Henk continues to batter Wales.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has issued a severe flood warning near Kiln Park caravan site.
18 flood warnings are in place across Wales, including the River Ely at Peterston Super Ely, the River Cadoxton at Dinas Powys, the River Hydfron and Llanddowror.
South Pembrokeshire, Lower Towy and the River Dee at Bangor on Dee are among the 44 on alert. You can see the full list here.
A Pembrokeshire council spokesman said: "Motorists, cyclists and walkers are urged to take care of the county’s roads and path infrastructure. In some cases, people are putting themselves at risk by ignoring closure and warning signage, with vehicles becoming stranded by trying to travel along Gumfreston Road – despite warnings it is flooded.
"A severe flood warning has been issued by Natural Resources Wales for the River Ritec".
The spokesman added: "The Gumfreston Road has been closed between Gumfreston and Tenby as the water levels covering it continue to rise.
"The flood warning for the river is becoming as high as we saw during Storm Ciaran and there have been numerous flood alerts over the last few days. There are also flood warnings for Solva."
The M48 Bridge is being closed in both directions with drivers being advised to use the M4 Prince of Wales as a diversion.
In some areas, roads have turned into rivers and look more like ponds with some motorists becoming stranded and cars submerged.
Dozens of homes are water-logged with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service dealing with several incidents, and around 300 properties are without power.
Since 7:30 this morning, Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue Service and South Wales Fire & Rescue Service dealt with 91 flooding related incidents.
They've also received calls for fallen trees and TV aerials in precarious positions over public highways due to the Storm.
They say several crews are still pumping out water in the predominantly Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire area.
