Heavy rain brings flash flooding in Birmingham

Crowds at Birmingham's Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival were just some of those caught in torrential downpours on Saturday and the event was called off. Several inches of water covered parts of Alum Rock Road in Birmingham and National Highways reported link roads from the M6 onto the A38M at junction six had to be closed due to flooding.The heavy rain meant headliners Ezra Collective were unable to perform at Mostly Jazz. Festival-goers said the evacuation had been well handled by the organisers but one man said everyone had been "soaked to the bone".
"We're absolutely devastated that this evening's weather took such a biblical turn," organisers said on Saturday. This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser. Please enable Javascript or try a different browser.
