Parts of the West Midlands continue to be hit by heavy rain and flash flooding
A number of schools are closed in the Birmingham area
Meanwhile roads are closed and there is disruption to rail and bus services in parts of the region
A care home in All Stretton, Shropshire was evacuated during the night when the weight of water caused a nearby wall to collapse.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings of more heavy rain in the region during Friday
Thank you for joining us for our live coverage of flash flooding and heavy rain in parts of the West Midlands.
We are bringing this page to a close now but we will keep your local news pages updated with the latest.
We're bringing our live page to a close now.
The clean up operation is still continuing, and it could take a while in some areas.
Trains between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton are going to be replaced by buses for the rest of the day and there has been water and debris on many roads around the region.
A number of schools and businesses have been forced to close.
Earlier, the emergency services had to come to the aid of drivers trapped in flood water and volunteers have been helping out AFC Telford United, after the stadium was flooded overnight.
And the Environment Agency has warned we will see river levels rise in Warwickshire over the coming days.

If it feels like it's been a bumpy start to autumn, you'd be right: a diving jet stream means low pressure has dominated our weather for much of September.
That's brought more than three times the average monthly rainfall to many spots in England, including Winchcombe in Gloucestershire which has seen 214mm of rain, compared to an average of 63mm.
There is some good news, in that the forecast for the next 48 hours is much drier although cold in feel, but there is another belt of wet weather moving in later on Sunday.
And of course, there is often a lag in the rainfall ending and river levels rising, so with multiple flood warnings and alerts across The Midlands, the possibility of flooding continues.
Rob Davies from the Environment Agency has been taking this opportunity to go out and get some water flow measurements on the Rea Brook in Shropshire.
He explained that it was a river which responded really quickly to rainfall, so it was useful for calibrating their monitoring stations at Hookagate near Shrewsbury.
In a post on X he said that was important for future forecasting.

Across Coventry and Warwickshire, there are currently seven flood warnings and 15 flood alerts.
At Charlecote Mill, near Stratford-upon-Avon, the River Avon is still rising slowly, staff posted on Facebook, external.
Nick Green, Environment Agency area incident manager, said: “When the rain stops and it starts to clear, a bit like the scene right now, it’s then a case of that water working its way down through the smaller brooks that people have running through their back gardens or next to roads.
“That goes into the large river systems and that’s going to take a few days to work its way down.”

There has been a lot of activity at AFC Telford United's stadium today, with volunteers helping staff clean up all the mess.
Volunteers have been helping clear up the mess caused by flash flooding
Residents were moved onto a different floor after Stretton Hall Care Home's car park filled up with water and entered the Shropshire building.
Operations Director Helen Bayliss said residents spent the night sleeping in a different lounge and everyone was settled with family members informed of the situation.
"The community has been absolutely wonderful, we've had so much support from the mayor, the local MPs visited," she said.
The water has now been replaced with debris and sludge and the ground floor of the home needs a full refurbishment, Ms Bayliss said.
Residents have been transferred to a different home while the refurbishment takes place from tomorrow.

Andy Munro, the mayor of Church Stretton has been in neighbouring All Stretton, looking at the damage caused by the flooding.
He said there was a "fantastic community spirit" in the village and that people were doing everything possible to support the council workers and emergency services who were clearing up the mess.
Mr Munro said it had been a real team effort and there were even farmers from surrounding areas turning up with their tractors to help.
The stone wall which collapsed under the weight of the water coming down from the Long Mynd was being taken apart and the stones put into storage.
He said he hoped it could be repaired with the same stones, and not modern materials, he said.
Numerous roads are closed in Warwickshire due to the flooding:
Drivers are to find alternative routes until roads are safe to reopen.
"Do not attempt to drive through flooded roads - you put yourself and others, including our emergency services, at risk if you do," Warwickshire County Council said.
This train has been stuck at Wellington railway station since this morning and passengers hoping to travel by rail between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton have been using buses instead.
Stephen Price was at the station and told us he'd been hoping to meet up with a friend from Shrewsbury.
He was fairly relaxed about the situation and said: "We can't do much about it though can we?"
Network Rail said the disruption to services on this line is likely to last all day.
But it was not just caused by the flooding at Wellington station - there has also been a theft of signalling cables at Albrighton.
A wall which collapsed in All Stretton when flash flooding cascaded through the village might not be repaired until next year.
Engineers have been out with firefighters inspecting the damage and helping with the clean up.
Some people in the village have told us they believe a stream which normally runs underneath Shrewsbury Road became blocked, causing the flood water to pour down the street and through homes instead.
As the clean up operation begins in parts of the West Midlands hit hardest by flooding overnight, here's a reminder that this has already been a particularly wet month.
On 8 September Shropshire experienced its wettest day in 50 years, and the second wettest on record.
The Met Office weather station at Shawbury recorded 69.2 mm of rain, the most at any of its sites in England.
And the rain has continued on and off throughout the month.

I'm at AFC Telford where dozens of volunteers have responded to the calls for help.
Among them is Natalie Hall, 34, from Wellington, who told me: “I've come to help because this is my community. I've lived in Telford all my life. I feel like we need to give back.”
Kevin Short, 38, from Wellington, said: “I’ve been supporting the team for the past five years. I just wanted to do my bit to help and support the club. The club is a big deal for people in this area.”
I'm told the stadium has flooded a few times in the past 10 years but never like yesterday. Kitchen, changing room, offices and gym affected.
New fridges only installed two weeks ago are no longer working.
Wolves ladies were due to play here this coming Sunday but now that’s been cancelled.
They are hopeful the men's match against Cleethorpes Town F.C. on October 5 will still go ahead.
Flooding is still affecting rail travel this morning, with no trains running between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury and a warning other services could be affected.
Last night we saw some really serious flooding around some stations and Rob Farrell sent us this footage from Bournville station.

St Nicholas Park in Warwick is seeing some flooding this morning, with the River Avon pouring in.
There is also flooding on Radford Road in the town, a road which is often prone to flooding, but cars have been getting through.
Elsewhere in Warwickshire, we have seen roads closed in Shipston on Stour, Princethorpe and Grendon, among other places.
The Nurses Clinic, a private medical clinic in Nuneaton was one of a number of properties on Attenborough Green to be flooded last night.
It was opened by Marie Burdett and Lucy Lower in June and Marie said they tried putting sandbags outside the doors, but they couldn't hold the water back.
Image source, Marie BurdettMarie said: "It just kept coming, there was nothing we could have done at the time except for just hope and pray."
Other businesses were also affected and she added: "We tried to get the word out last night, but it just happened so quickly."
With the help of family and friends the pair were cleaning up this morning, but she said it had caused a lot of damage.
But they had been able to rescue important paperwork and expensive equipment.

I was driving this down Crook Lane near Walsall just after six o'clock this morning and there was a massive stream.
I saw a car with its hazard lights on just through the other side of this lake and I stopped to check if he was alright.
He told me his name was Matt Woodhouse and he explained the depth of the water had taken him by surprise.
He said: "I did get through it and then on the other side my car cut out and it smells like burning."
Mr Woodhouse said he had decided to wait there for a breakdown company to come.
And he explained: "Because it's a small lane there's hardly any room to see around the corner so you come around the corner and you hit this lake.
"There's no avoiding it really and you cant turn your car around."
Unfortunately we've heard since then that his car will probably have to be written off.
As we head into lunchtime here's a recap of the flood warnings still in place across the West Midlands:
There are also dozens of flood alerts across the West Midlands you can see a full list here., external

As we've been reporting, parts of the West Midlands are grappling with the impact of heavy rain and flash flooding.
Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst expects localised flooding to continue today.
"A lot of these areas have been hit by rain in the past few weeks which means the ground is already saturated," he told the PA news agency.
He said conditions were expected to "ease up" and become a bit drier through Friday, but added: "Rivers often take time to respond so we're expecting disruption to continue in central and southern parts throughout the morning. Those planning to travel on Friday should factor this into their journey times."
Weather forecasts show rain is expected to clear during Friday leaving conditions much colder on Saturday.
