I took this video footage of the incident while I was there. Police are warning people to avoid driving through deep water.

I'm in Yelvertoft near Daventry, where some houses in the village have flooded during today's heavy rain.

Sue Baker, from Yelvertoft, took this image of people canoeing through the flood water in the village. 

She said: "This chap was ferrying people across the centre of the village rather than enjoying himself. Until the fire brigade arrived with a boat he was doing it on his own. What a star."
