Heavy rainfall turned a park and ride car park into a lake leaving water several inches up the tyres of parked vehicles.
South Winchester Park and Ride, near Compton was videoed by Genna Hunt today when a sudden downpour flooded the area.
Despite the heavy rain and water sitting on the surface, the water from the flash flood soon drained away, but not before Genna snapped a couple of photos and a video.
