MORE than 100 houses were flooded last night as storm water swept through Southwell.

Torrential rain started at around 6pm and local streams burst their banks.

The rain stopped an hour later, but all roads into the town were under water.

One motorist had a lucky escape as she waded out of her car on Halloughton Road, only minutes before it was completely submerged.
