Baku, January 27, AZERTAC
A major incident has been declared after heavy rain and flooding continue to cause disruption in parts of Somerset, according to BBC.
The A303 remains closed in both directions between Upottery and Ilminster.
Somerset Council leader Bill Revans told BBC Radio Somerset that residents at a care home in South Petherton have been evacuated after it flooded overnight.
Mr Revans added it had been a "difficult night" for everyone affected.
The council has opened two emergency rest centres, one in Ilminster and one in Chard.
Mr Revans said both have been used by residents who have had to leave their homes.
He said all of the council's teams will be "helping with the clear up", adding: "Please make sure flooding is reported and please don't drive through flood."
A meeting is being held between the council and the Environment Agency to determine how best to support residents.
The Environment Agency has issued flood warnings for Chard, Martock, Ilminster and Yeovil.
In Wiltshire, the A350 between Yarnbrook and Mays Drive in Westbury has been closed in both directions, but the A303 westbound between the B3095 and the B3092 near Mere in Wiltshire has reopened.
The A363 has also been closed in both directions from A350 to the B3097 in Phillips Way.
The A466 in Gloucestershire has been closed in both directions due to a fallen tree between French Lane and Memorial Green.
Drivers have been warned of possible delays and to plan ahead before they travel.
The Met Office has put a yellow wind weather warning in place across the region until 06:00 Tuesday GMT.
