This is the state of a main shopping road in Birmingham following a day of heavy rain.
Stratford Road, in Sparkhill, resembles a river as Storm Claudia continues to batter the country with torrential downpours.
Mohammed Rafi, who owns UK Furniture, said cars were driving through the muddy waters which were lapping his front door.
Mr Rafi said he had only had one customer since 1pm and that was only to shelter from the relentless downpours.
He said: “Every time it rains, it floods and it’s been flooded all day.

“I’ve complained to many local councillors so many times and they say they have been down and the pipe is too small and will come back and sort it out.
“The water has been so bad today that it comes close to the front door.
“You can’t stop the cars going through as it’s a busy shopping street.”
The flooding is particularly bad from Greswolde Road to the corner of Grove Road.
Mr Rafi added: “Since 1pm, I have had one customer come in and he just wanted to get out of the rain.”
Council Majid Mahmood, Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, said: “Storm Claudia is bringing severe rainfall and localised flooding to parts of Birmingham, including Stratford Road.
“Our council teams are working around the clock with emergency services to manage flood risks, clear drains, and keep residents safe.
“I urge everyone to stay home if possible, avoid flooded roads, and take extra care when travelling.
“Thank you to all our staff, the emergency services and volunteers who are working tirelessly to protect our city during this severe weather.”
