Residents in Worcestershire have had to evacuate their homes as flood waters rose above defensive barriers.
It comes as two severe flood warnings remain in place in Shropshire with the River Severn at risk of overtopping defences in Ironbridge.
Sally Yardley left her ground floor flat in Bewdley which overlooks the river just before midnight on Tuesday.
"The water was rising really quickly," she said. "I don't think we ever predicted it would be this bad."
