Merseyside was hit with torrential rain, thunderstorms and flooding on Thursday, September 9 after a yellow weather warning was put in place by The Met Office.

The adverse weather led to roads being closed, houses and supermarkets flooding and one person even taking to a kayak in the street.

Merseyrail suffered serious disruption after flooding hit its Chester, Ellesmere Port, New Brighton and West Kirby lines.

Due to flooding between Hamilton Square and Birkenhead North and also Green Lane, rail replacement buses were put in place for passengers.

Flooding also saw two lanes of the M53 southbound between junction three, Birkenhead, and junction four, Clatterbridge closed to traffic.

This was reopened a short time later once standing water was removed.

A video caught by ECHO reader, Adam Siddorn, showed Sainsbury's in Prenton was flooded with water.

Another piece of footage caught by an ECHO reader showed a man taking to a kayak by Laird's in Wirral.

The Met Office has since has now warned of further thunderstorms in Merseyside tonight.

They said: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue affect the area through this evening before slow decaying towards midnight.

"Whilst many areas will miss the most intense storms, torrential downpours are likely in a few places.

"Where these occur, there is potential for 20 to 30 mm of rain in less than an hour and up to 40 mm in two hours.

"This will have the potential to generate surface water flooding, especially if it falls over an urban area."
