George Darts from Darts Farm, in Topsham, considered the flooding a "poor excuse" to not go into work.

Instead, he dug out his canoe. With his sisters and Welsh terrier, Mr Chops, they paddled 800m across the wetlands to make it to work for 09:00.

Darts Farm wasn't the only business to adapt to the weather. According to George, a local butcher also made a meat delivery via paddleboard.

Other than the alternative mode of transport, George told BBC Radio Devon that Darts Farm is operating normally.

Lee Wilkes, station manager for St Austell Fire Station, has been working with team members to rescue a woman who was trapped in her car by flood water.

Four firefighters used an inflatable dinghy to reach the stranded woman in Coulson Park in Lostwithiel, which is badly flooded.

Wilkes said the team took the boat alongside the car and transferred the woman and three dogs from the car into the boat.

"It's really important for everyone to understand that when you're driving through flood water that they need to know the depth else the car could float and they could be taken down downstream," he added.

"It's challenging we expect it in the weather that we've got now but what I would say is... be careful where you're driving, know the depth you're trying to drive through or walk through and if in doubt just stay away from the water."

Traffic monitoring website Inrix says one lane is closed on the A30 in Cornwall due to flooding.

It says the lane closure is on the eastbound side of the road at the Redruth bypass near the A3047 Avers roundabout.

Other issues on the road reported to BBC Radio Cornwall including flooding and fallen trees on the B3311 between St Ives and Penzance along with flooding on the road under the railway bridge at White Cross near Newquay.

There have also been reports of patches of deep water scattered around Cornwall's roads.

Ben Williams, group commander from Devon and Somerset Fire Service, says they have been dealing with an elevated number of calls as a result from Storm Chandra.

As the majority of calls coming from motorists, Williams is appealing for people to not enter the floodwater under almost any circumstances and not to bypass road closures.

Speaking on BBC Radio Devon, Williams says: "The car stops moving and all of a sudden they find themselves in a terrifying situation."

Williams says it has been a multi-agency approach with mountain rescue and other volunteer agencies.

The second major impact has been floodwater entering properties - individuals are still cut off even after the bulk of the rain has ceased, with river levels still rising in some of the catchment areas.

Williams says the full impact is still to be seen.

Here in Tipton St John in Devon, it's not too bad at the moment.

The sun's come out and the water is starting to die down.

I am standing outside the primary school, once again it's closed. The playground is all flooded.

I have seen a few parents and children about, and some of the children are enjoying their day off.

Tipton St John is kind of split in two as there is a large about of floodwater on the road that goes past the school.

Cars are stuck and I understand that some of that water is now waist deep.

I've been chatting to some of the residents, one woman told me her dog woke her up at 04:30 as there was flooding in her kitchen, she has managed to get some of the water out, she hopes there isn't too much damage.

James Chubb, from Wild East Devon, is at the Seaton Wetlands near the River Axe and describes the flooding as "chest deep" in some areas.

Speaking to BBC Radio Devon, he says it's a case of waiting for the water to subside before the cleanup operation can begin.

"It's more water than we can manage," he says.

Chubb is advising people to avoid the area for 24-48 hours.

Damage to the Grade II listed West Hoe Pier in Plymouth, caused by the recent storms, could put an extra £200,000 on the repair bill, the city council has said.

Experts are assessing new damage to the pier after Storm Ingrid battered the city along with damage to Tinside Bay and the Council House in Armada Way where the authority holds its meetings.

The pier had been undergoing works to strengthen it including filling the interior with concrete and stone, the LDRS reports.

At a council meeting on Monday, Councillor Chis Penberthy, cabinet member for housing, cooperative development and communities, said timing the works was difficult as weather events were becoming “increasingly more frequent and of greater intensity”.

Flooding is affecting Darts Farm in Topsham, Devon, with roads leading up to the site submerged.

Despite this, the farm shop says parts of the site remain open for those who can safely make it there.

Elsewhere, Powderham Castle in Kenton, near Exeter, has also been flooded.

Photos from the castle, which is currently closed for visitors, show large areas of the site under water.

The bridge road over the River Clyst in Topsham, Devon, has been completely flooded due to rising water levels.

Ed Fisher, pictured above, is trying to bail out water from the front of his home nearby.

He said it was the worst flooding he had seen in the area since 2014.

Flooding is still affecting people across the South West, including in Devon, after Storm Chandra blew through the region.

The heavy rain overnight has caused travel disruption with road closures on the A30 between Exeter Airport and Honiton.

Dozens of schools have also been forced to close due to flooding.

Listen to a round up of the issues so far...

Great Western Railway (GWR) says there are still several issues on its services including flooding on the tracks.

GWR spokesperson James Davis says the advice is for passengers not to travel unless it is "critical" for them to do so.

He says tickets issued for today can be used up until Thursday with limited bus replacement services also set up.

Passengers can also request a refund if they cannot travel.

Davis says flooding has been reported on tracks between Exeter and Taunton, Taunton and Castle Cary and Newquay and Par while services travelling through Dawlish are reduced due to the damage to the sea wall there.

"It's a pretty torrid time at the moment out there to be honest," he tells BBC Radio Cornwall.

"Clearly, we would recommend people postpone their journeys."

You'll be relieved to hear that although there was a little trickle of water like a waterfall coming over the bridge wall here in Lostwithiel, nothing happened.

At this stage, it doesn't appear that it's going to make the flooding any worse, certainly not going into people's homes.

I just spoke to the Environment Agency and they said it was slowing down further up the river, so I think that fares well for Lostwithiel.

It has been pouring down here with hailstones the lot, so I'm very wet at the moment.

But I've checked down the other end of the town and although it looked precarious, there was no full topping over the wall.

There's lots of people out watching and making sure their home is not going to be affected by the huge power of the River Fowey as it rushes through this part of Cornwall.

Torquay United's National League South game with Farnborough at Plainmoor has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Storm Chandra has exacerbated the effects of prior heavy rain in South Devon.

Following a pitch inspection at lunchtime a referee deemed the surface to be unplayable.

A new date for the game will be announced in due course.

Devon and Somerset Fire Service said it was called out to 25 vehicles in floodwater on Tuesday morning.

A spokesperson said people were rescued from the vehicles but there had been no casualties.

They added: “Flood water can be deeper and moving faster than it appears.

"Driving through it can quickly lead to vehicles becoming stranded and lives being put at risk.

“Please do not drive through flood water – turn around and find an alternative route.”

The Beacon Community Centre in Exeter is appealing for people to help sweep water away after it was flooded.

Chris Cranston, trustee of centre, said: Last night with the torrential rain that came down, we're unfortunately at the bottom of a hill on the Beacon Heath and there's a whole load of debris."

He said leaves in front of the building had blocked the drain in the road so "the water was building up on the road".

"Although we've got some flood prevention doors on the building it's just got overwhelmed," he continued.

"One of the entrances, it got to about a metre high and basically it has just covered the whole floor of the whole building, affecting all the flooring there, and I'm currently standing in the office in about an inch deep of water.

Cranston added there were at least 20 people from both the church and the community helping with the "massive task".

He said it meant they were going to be closed at least for the rest of this week.

"We would welcome any help with shovels and brooms and things to clear out all the water," he added.

The Met Office has issued another yellow weather warning in the South West.

The warning for rain covers most of the region, including Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, from 12:00 to 23:59 GMT on Thursday.

It says there is a "small chance" some homes and businesses could be flooded and fast flowing or deep floodwater could cause a "danger to life".

"A band of rain is likely to reach south west England on Thursday afternoon then spread quickly northeast across the rest of the warning area by evening," the Met Office continues.

"The rain is only likely to last for a few hours in any one location but will be heavy at times.

"A further 10 to 20mm (0.3 to 0.7in) is likely quite widely, and in the wetter spots, particularly across the moors, a further 20 to 40mm (0.7 to 1.5in) is possible and will fall onto already saturated ground."

Torquay United will assess their pitch to see if their National League South game with Farnborough can go ahead.

The impact of recent heavy rain over the past few days has been exacerbated by Storm Chandra overnight.

A referee will inspect the playing surface at Plainmoor at lunchtime - the game is due to kick off at 19:45 GMT.

"Our ground maintenance team have been working tirelessly throughout the course of the past week, however, as anyone within the locality will be aware, the South West has been subjected to a huge amount of rain during the past few days," a club statement read.

Speaking to BBC Radio Cornwall, Lostwithiel resident Oliver Kimber says some of his neighbours have been flooded during Storm Chandra.

"It's been quite nerve-wracking to be honest with you," Kimber, pictured below, says.

"Last night I came home from a meeting and I saw that our lane was flooded.

"We live a little bit up Fore Street, and just off it, and for our road to flood is very unusual."

He says the issue has been caused by water from the nearby River Fowey not flowing properly.

"There was so much water and it was so fast that it just had nowhere else to go, and it was pushing it back up through the drains," Kimber says.
