A KEY road is to close in Herefordshire tonight (May 11) as police deal with 'huge areas of flood water'.

The affected road is the A438 at Eastwood, between Tarrington and Trumpet. 

Heavy rain hit the county from around 7pm as the temperamental weather continues. 

On Tuesday afternoon, thunder, lighting and even hail battered Herefordshire, with the loud rumblings causing car alarms to go off.
