THUNDERSTORMS sweeping across the South West struck near Crediton this afternoon.
At Yeoford a thunderstorm washed soil from ploughed fields over a bank, into the road and down into the village.
It resulted in blocked drains and leaving the car park of The Duck at Yeoford like a lake.
Red soil and silt has settled over the road through the village to a depth of several inches.
Other drains in the area were also blocked and the river at Keymelford was, once again, flooded over the road.
