BBC Radio Shropshire's Faith Page has been to the top of the Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury to give you an idea of how high the river level is in the town.

You can also seen the flood barriers in place too:

This was the scene greeting people on Washbrook Lane and Butts Lane in Allesley, Coventry, this morning.

BBC Radio Hereford and Worcester

BBC Hereford and Worcester listeners have been helping a couple who were rescued from flood water.

Ian Plowman and Sue Compton had been travelling from Wales to Lincolnshire to see their daughter, who has cancer, when they had to be rescued by the fire service in Worcestershire.

They were taken to hospital in Worcester and lost all their clothing and their medication.

Mr Plowman, who is 73, is sitting in the hospital wearing paper clothing, his daughter Sara said.

Their car, which is still on the A433 near Newnham Bridge, has got their spare clothing and their medication in it.

Mr Plowman said they had decided to return home because his wife needed her medication after picking up an infection.

"I was too busy thinking about getting back and getting the meds and wasn't thinking about the road conditions."

He described the water rising around their car after they ran into flood water and said it was "very, very, very scary".

An appeal was made on the radio to help them and they have now been supplied with some clean warm clothing.

Mr Plowman said he "really appreciated" the help.

With most of the main car parks closed in Shrewsbury today, people are being asked to use the park and ride buses if they want to get into town.

As we reported earlier, the Raven Meadows multi-storey car park has reopened following an earlier power cut, but as you can see from these photos, the Frankwell car park could be closed for some time.

A number of roads close to the river have also closed, including Longden Coleham and Sydney Avenue.

Parts of the Quarry have also had to close, including the children's play area, which will need a good clean before it can be used again.

Back to Warwickshire, and this is how it is looking in Leamington Spa.

Pictures and video from our reporter John Bray by the River Leam:

Several people needed treatment from paramedics after their vehicles were stuck in flood-water in four separate cases within 24 hours, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.

Of the five patients treated by them, one needed to go to hospital.

• In Hall Green, Birmingham, a car was wedged under a bridge while crossing a ford and a mother and daughter were rescued by a passer-by, before being checked by paramedics
• In Hollywood, Worcestershire, a man was taken to hospital as a precaution after he was freed by firefighters from a car filling with water on Houndsfield Lane
• In Weston, Stafford, a man and teenage boy were checked over at the scene after they were stuck in a vehicle for about 45 minutes with water up to the seats.
• In Bishops Frome, Worcestershire, an ambulance came across a car which had rolled over in flood-water and was partly submerged in a stream but there was nobody trapped inside it

Not for the first time Worcestershire County Cricket Club was flooded and we have seen some spectacular photos of their New Road ground in Worcester this morning.

A short distance away, you can see the flooding on Hylton Road too.

The Warwickshire village of Wolston was cut off for a time on Tuesday evening by flood waters.

Landlord of the Half Moon pub in Wolston, Craig Newman, said they took in affected residents and have been out helping to protect properties from the rising water.

"Seeing what happened last night was quite overwhelming," he said.

"It was a bit of a catastrophic situation.

"Across the road where the brook is, I've never quite seen anything like it. The houses there were taking on water.

"On Main Street, the chip shop was taking in water and the cottages either side."

But he added the village "always pulls together when needed".

Trevor Tongue is watching the River Severn through the window of his flat in Worcester this morning.

He has been living there for seven years and says he has never seen the river so high.

Mr Tongue was able to get in and out of his flat by using a raised footbridge but said the basement of his building and the car park was flooded today.

BBC Weather Watchers

The BBC Weather Watchers have been sharing photos of flooding from around Herefordshire and Worcestershire this morning.

As you can see, it's not just roads and homes in town centres which are affected.

Flooding between Warwick and Leamington Spa means that the line towards London is blocked, National Rail warned, external.

It said trains running between these stations might be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised.

A bit earlier this morning it looked like we might be seeing record river levels on the Severn in north Shropshire.

The Environment Agency (EA) was forecasting it to peak at 6.58m at its Crew Green gauge, just beating the previous high from 31 October 2000.

But river levels there are now reaching a peak and it looks like it will fall just short of that mark, although it will be very close, according to the agency's readings.

The EA is not currently forecasting record highs further downstream and at the moment it is expected to fall well short of the record high of 5.25m in Shrewsbury.

That was also recorded in 2000.

Speaking of Shrewsbury, the Raven Meadows multi-storey car park has reopened after an earlier power cut.

Impacts of Storm Henk continuepublished at 09:54 Greenwich Mean Time 3 January

Simon King
BBC weather presenter and meteorologist

While Storm Henk has now passed, the impacts of the rain and strong winds continue across many parts of the UK.

However, weather-wise, it’s going to be much quieter through Wednesday and over the coming week.

While showers and some areas of rain are in the forecast, we won’t have large swathes or accumulations of rain crossing the UK. Winds will be lighter and there’ll even be some sunnier spells during the rest of the week.

By the weekend and into next week we’re expecting high pressure to build which means that the weather will turn even more settled. Higher pressure means it’ll be largely dry with sunshine amounts also increasing.

With this high pressure becoming established though, we cut off the milder south-westerly winds with colder air returning giving chilly days and overnight frosts.

Crossing to Staffordshire now and these pictures from BBC Radio Stoke reporter Matt Weigold show how flooding is affecting parts of Stafford today:

Paul Stephens from Worcester said he was wondering how he will rescue his car from a flooded car park this morning.

He moved into flats near the river a month ago and said he was not warned the area flooded.

Firefighters in Leominster have urged people not to ignore signs telling them to stay away from deluged roads.

The warning came after they were called to help a lorry driver whose vehicle ended up in a ditch in deep flood-water.

The A44 at Monkland is currently closed.

"Plan your route well and drive to the conditions presented," the Hereford and Worcester Fire Service post added.

We told you earlier Sabrina Bridge in Worcester was the latest bridge to be shut due to flooding by Worcestershire County Council and they have posted to show why.

"Do not attempt to cross, use main city bridge," a spokesperson said on X., external

In Worcester

People living in ground floor flats in Worcester have been rescued by their relatives as the area around it flooded.

They were taken to safety from the Sanctuary-owned housing on Bridge Street and North Parade.

Elsewhere in the city, it's flooded once again outside the Olde Rectifying House, which sits alongside the River Severn.

The previous owner sold up last year because he was fed up of clearing up when the river broke its banks.

It's since reopened as Yeliz, a Turkish restaurant - the first time it's flooded since.

The Rescue Ranch animal sanctuary in Warwickshire is trying to move its goats to drier ground.

Ideally, it said it would like to build them a new shelter but that could cost about £2,000 and for a small non-profit organisation, they added that was a lot of money.

The sanctuary said the lower fields were inaccessible to tractors at the moment because it was too boggy.

So volunteers were having to roll bales of hay down the hill to the goats themselves.
