Flood alerts are still in place today following Storm Brian which flooded homes and businesses across Calderdale last night.

Sirens were heard across the borough as the River Calder flooded after torrential downpours.

Approximately a dozen firefighters, as well as the station managers, were tackling floods across Calderdale from 6.30pm until midnight.

Several houses in Todmorden and a public house in Hebden Bridge flooded. The Mytholm and Hebble End areas were also badly affected.

Elle Shuttelton shared a video of horrendous flooding at her Todmorden home in the Calder Valley Flood Support Facebook group where people are appealing for - and offering - help.
