An Edinburgh woman says she is at risk of 'losing everything' as the flash flooding rages on in the capital this afternoon.
Laura Wilson, 36, from Clermiston, says this is not the first time she has been affected by the horrific weather.
She shared a dramatic video showing her residential street turned into a massive waterfall of flood water.
Laura said: "We have lived her for three years now, and in June of 2019 we were flooded inside our flat and had to move out for six months while it was fixed.

"My daughter was only 10 months at the time, and everything we owned was destroyed.
"Two years on, the drainage situation outside of our home still has not been rectified.
"Ark Housing Association provided flood gates that slot into the front door to the building, but I can't afford to leave when flooding is forecast as I would be worried that nobody else in the building would put the gates up - as I am the only ground floor tenant."
The freak flooding is a result of a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office, who told residents of Edinburgh to expect “Heavy, slow-moving, thundery downpours will develop on Monday.
"Some places will miss these, but where they do occur, 20-30 mm rain may fall in a short space of time, perhaps with 50-80 mm over several hours in a few places.
“The showers will die out during the evening.”
Laura posted the video on social media site Twitter, stating, "When you're a basement level flat and the drains have moss growing from them on street level!!!"
