Torrential showers are hammering Norwich - with the fire service reporting a massive influx of calls to flooding in the past half an hour.

The heavy rain has led to at least 20 call outs by Norfolk County Council's fire and rescue service since 9.45am today (Tuesday).

There are reports that the A140 at Long Stratton is flooded, with water coming up through the drains.
