There's a number of flood warnings in force across Devon and Somerset - after 30-mill of rain fell over the past 12 hours in some areas.
Areas around the River Axe have been hardest hit, with schools closed across Devon and Somerset - due to problems with reaching the sites.
There has also been some disruption on the trains and there's a plea to not drive into flood water.
