A seaside town centre high street resembled a river when a month’s worth of rain fell in just one day.<br /><br />This footage, filmed by The Scarborough Joke and Magic Shop, shows water cascade down Eastborough in the Yorkshire seaside town on Thursday.<br /><br />Cars can be seen to aquaplaning down the road, with water cascading down. Shoppers are also seen taking cover under umberellas and in the shops. One resident said: “It looks like a river flowing to the sea.”<br /><br />It happened following heavy downpours across large swathes of northern England on Thursday with some places seeing around 50mm.
