Full list of North East roads flooded amid Met Office heavy rain warning

Roads in the North East are flooded on Tuesday as heavy rain continues to batter the region.

The Met Office has a yellow weather warning for rain in place until 11pm and say there's risk of fast flowing floodwater and power cuts.

It reads: "Spells of heavy rain are expected to move northeastwards during today, bringing 20-30 mm of rain within 3 hours in places, and as much as 40-60 mm in 6 hours across parts of northern England. Lightning is also possible.

"The rain will be replaced by scattered showers from the south-west during the course of the afternoon and evening."
