Flash floods have torn down garden walls and swamped businesses in Cardiff.
in the Rumney and Pentwyn areas of the city were posted on social media on Friday night as thunderstorms brought heavy rain to Wales.
An elderly couple watched helplessly as flood waters brought down a fence and garden walls at their home in Rumney.
And an animal shelter was forced to take emergency measures after one of their centres was completely flooded.
On Friday South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it had attended flooding calls in Llanrumney, Rumney and Pentwyn.
Peter Jones, 89, said he was stuck inside his home on Quarry Dale, Rumney, while water streamed down the road and into his garden.
He said he watched dumbstruck with his wife while a back and side wall to his garden came down with the force of the water.
"This storm we had last night, it's absolutely devastated my property," Mr Jones said.
"The fencing between myself and next door has been knocked down and three walls are down.
"We were sat here watching the storm. We are devastated. We are both coming up to 90 and we don't know what the hell to do."
Peter said he has home insurance but he isn't sure if they will be covered for flood damage.
"It looks like a bomb has hit it," he said. "The walls are gone and my garage is full of water.
"There's no security now the wall is gone from the bottom of our property."
Anna Mason has run her animal rescue charity, Anna's Rescue Centre, in Rumney for around two years.
The 52-year-old said she was forced to move the animals last night after her cattery flooded.
"It was basically like a river coming down the lane and into our cattery," she said.
"All the cats in the bottom pens got their paws wet.
"Fortunately we have two centres in the same lane and one is a bit higher than the other.
"All the water came off Rumney Hill and straight in there."
Anna said she had to take some of the cats to emergency foster homes and move them to the other building. None of the animals were hurt or lost.
She said the water has now flowed out of the building but there has been extensive damage to the flooring.
"All the floors in the one cattery are completely gone because it is wood laminate."
Anna has rehomed about 2,000 cats since she opened the centre two years ago and said hers is now one of the largest rescue centres in Cardiff.
Staff at Currys PC World on Newport Road were outside the store on Saturday morning telling customers it was closed because of flooding.
The weather forecast suggests the thunderstorms will move eastwards over the rest of the weekend.
Conditions will be turning drier and brighter with sunny spells and scattered showers.
