Brits have been battered by torrential rain with nearly a FOOT of downpours expected in the coming days, as danger-to-life floods grip parts of the country.
On Thursday, around 500 homes were evacuated from the Scottish border town of Hawick, while in Cumbria, the River Cocker burst its banks.
Hours later, two road bridges were “washed away” in Dumfries and Galloway, as heavy rain and floods disrupted travel across southern Scotland and north west England.
A separate yellow warning of rain for south-west England was in place from 3pm on Thursday until 9am – while another warning in Wales lasts until 3pm today.
