Last night the Environment Agency had issued 15 flood warnings and 79 flood alerts. A spokesman said homes in the South-west and East Anglia had been hit by floods.
The Met Office also issued severe weather warnings for large parts of the UK. Experts predicted that tonight will be the coldest Bonfire Night this century.
