Parts of Northern Ireland have been experiencing flooding following a series of heavy downpours.
The village of Cushendall in County Antrim was badly affected, and problems have also been reported in south and east Belfast.
A police spokeswoman said motorists should "exercise extreme caution when driving and only travel if necessary".
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for thundery showers over Northern Ireland on Thursday evening.
"The public are advised to be aware of the risk of localised surface water flooding," it said.
