Flood alerts and warnings have been issued across West Yorkshire as Storm Bert continues to wreak havoc.

There have been 12 flood warnings and a flood alert have been issued across the region. Footage of flood sirens blasting through the Calder Valley have been shared across social media. The River Calder, River Irwell and Walsden Water are expected to burst their banks.

This comes as the county has come under heavy rain and snowfall with an amber weather warning issued by the Met Office last night. West Yorkshire Police have warned the public to 'only make necessary trips' trips today, to avoid the hazards. Road have been disrupted across the county. The amber weather warning has since elapsed but a yellow snow and rain warning remains for most of Yorkshire.
