Footage shows parked cars submerged in sea water after heavy rain and strong winds battered the North West coastline.Mobile phone footage filmed by bistro staff showed the parade and road completely covered in water.Hannah Cleator owns Tanskeys Bistro in West Kirby which was left underwater after torrential rain and strong winds.

Hannah Cleator, the owner of Tanskeys Bistro, said: "We were hopeful that the wall would be the answer, but sadly the water battered over it - and everything got flooded. "Sadly, what the wall has done today that we weren't expecting is hold the water in on the wrong side. So the water has come in and can't get back out."Chris Riley, vice president of West Kirby Sailing Club, said: "I've lived here the best part of 40 years and in that time this is the fourth time I've seen it this deep on the promenade and in the boat yard.

"I know boats are meant to float but once they start floating around the boat yard, it causes lots of problems."A spokesperson for Wirral Council said: "The storm today has seen extremely high winds combined with higher than usual tides to cause water to come over flood wall at West Kirby.
