200 homes have now been evacuated around Northumberland and County Durham - as severe flooding hits the north of England today.

North Somerset's escaped the worst of the severe weather - with Avon Fire and Rescue saying there have been just a few isolated incidents ... compared to over fifty call-outs yesterday, which included a dozen rescues from vehicles and properties.

More than 80 flood warnings have been issued across Britain - with yellow rain alerts still in place for the south west.
