Birmingham floods: 8 crazy photos show severe impact of torrential rain on city

Birmingham has been hit by heavy downpours, sparking severe flooding across the city

Schools have shut, roads were closed and one driver was rescued from deep water at a well-known flooding hotspot in Hall Green.

West Midlands Police and fire services once again urged drivers NOT to drive through flood water, but many ignored the advice.

These photos show the impact of the wild weather on our city. Some residents criticised the council on social media for not cleaning out the drains regularly.

One boy was praised for single-handedly clearing out a blocked drain on his flooded road in the city.

St Laurence’s Infant & Junior School in Northfield was hit by gushing flood water, with the doors closed to pupils on Friday and an appeal made for help from the community.
