Homes have been evacuated in Liverpool after a ruptured watermain caused a huge sinkhole to open up in the city centre.
Fire crews were called to the 15ft by 20ft chasm in Green Lane, Old Swan, about 10.30pm on Friday, with the service saying three fire engines were in attendance.
Images on social media showed the streets gushing with water, at the same time that torrential downpours hit many areas of the country.
Today, utilities workers have been at the scene to try and get to the root of the problem.
