Eight flood warnings in place across Cumbria as more than a foot of rain falls in some parts of county
The Windermere ferry is unable to run on Thursday because the lake is too full after more than a foot of rain fell over parts of Cumbria in 24 hours.
Eight flood warnings are in place across the county, meaning flooding is expected imminently. So far “a handful” of homes have been flooded, according to the Environment Agency, with cars stranded.
