00:00 Floods reported in parts of mid Wales with rising river levels causing concern.

00:04 As a yellow weather warning is in place for Powys, many people have taken to sharing their

00:08 experiences of driving on flooded roads. In Prestyne, floods have made driving hazardous.

00:14 Despite cars being able to pass, people are having to drive at a slower pace to get through

00:19 villages such as Kinnerton. A driver on the B4520 posted a warning on Facebook saying

00:24 "I've just driven from Biltwells to Brecon via the B4520 and it is getting seriously flooded.

00:31 I would advise anyone to avoid at all costs if you have a normal or small car."

00:40 the C1032 Pembridge Road. The Llyswen Road to Irwydne at Llangoyd Hall is also flooded on one

00:46 side of the road with people raising concerns that nearby trees were recently cut down that

00:51 could have helped avoid flooding. Natural Resources Wales have issued a River Usk flood warning.

01:03 and 3.1 metres is expected to occur this afternoon. The level at Crickhowell was 1.65 metres and
