With more heavy rain expected to fall across Lincolnshire this week, here's how you can be prepared and stay safe from flooding.
There has been a high volume of reports of flooding across the county already since Thursday 7th November, particularly in low laying areas near the River Witham and the Gainsborough area.
A renewed yellow warning of rain is in place for Thursday 14th November.
Karen Cassar, assistant director highways, said: "We prioritise issues where water has entered people's houses and where water covers over half of the carriageway, which could endanger road users.
"Unfortunately, this means it can take us longer than usual to respond to other flood-related incidents at the moment. We've had some extremely wet weather recently, which has resulted in saturated ground and very high water levels in streams and rivers. This means that sometimes, even if road drains aren't blocked, there is nowhere for the water to go, so it takes a lot longer than usual to drain away.
"You can help by letting us know where standing water isn't receding a few hours after rain has stopped. Please rest assured we'll be checking all the drains once we've finished responding to the most urgent flooding."
