Forecasters are warning of more heavy rain across parts of the UK, bringing further risk of flooding to some areas left struggling by recent storms.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain in south-west England until 14:00 GMT on Sunday.
It also issued an amber warning of rain for the Somerset Levels, warning people should prepare for further flooding.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson is due to visit later to speak to those affected and the agencies helping them.
Heavy rain is also forecast for Wales and parts of southern England, including London, while much of Scotland and Northern Ireland are braced for gales.
'Lightning and tornadoes'It comes after storms hit the Midlands on Saturday evening, with buildings struck by lightning and property damaged.
There were also reports of "mini-tornadoes" in parts of Surrey and Warwickshire, with one so strong it brought down trees and even lifted cats into the air.
The Environment Agency has 12 flood warnings for southern England - the majority in western parts - indicating flooding is expected and immediate action is required.

Forecasters said between 10 and 20mm (0.5-1in) of rain was expected to fall on the Somerset Levels on Sunday.
It comes after a "major incident" was declared there on Friday, with the council asking the armed forces to consider helping villagers who had been cut off. A water-pumping operation is also continuing.
Meanwhile, more than 130 flood alerts - meaning flooding is possible - have also been issued, with more than half of them in the South East.
