But within hours, the flooding had subsided.
According to Lancaster University weather station, 10mm of rain fell in our area between 11pm and midnight on Thursday.
A further 4mm fell between midnight and 1am on Friday.
The rain during those two hours made up 88 per cent of the total rainfall (15.8mm) during the 24-hour period.
