Flood below the railway bridge at Chester Road, north Birmingham
After a night of thunderstorms and rain, a downpour on the afternoon of 27 May 2018 ("a month's rain in an hour") produced a flood in the dip of the road below the bridge. A car was abandoned; other traffic found ways round. Flashing blue lights were placed by the car as a warning. Rain, sometimes heavy, continued through the evening, accompanied by thunder and lightning. By 20:30 the car had been removed, the rain had stopped, and the flood had largely drained away. In Walsall an 80-year old man died after being rescued from a car caught in floodwater.
