Storms leave county under water

Torrential storms have led to flooding across half of Somerset.
A Devon and Somerset Fire Service spokesman asked people only to phone 999 if there was a risk to life as they had been inundated with calls.
Motorists were being warned not to go out in their cars as many roads have been left impassable.
People attending the annual Bath and West show have been stuck in mud and long queues as they tried to leave the flood-hit Bath and West Showground.
However organisers said they hoped the show would still go ahead on Friday, despite the poor weather.
Areas in the south of the county have been particularly badly hit including Castle Carey, Ilminster, Crewkerne and the Mendips.
Fire crews were carrying out salvage duties, clearing blocked drains and waiting for the Highways Agency to provide sandbags and further drain clearance.
Andy Newland of the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue service advised people to use sandbags or fill black bags with soil to prevent water coming into their properties.
However, if the situation became extreme, people would need to move upstairs, he added.
