Flood warnings are issued regularly in north Ayrshire A number of towns in north Ayrshire have been hit by flooding following torrential rain in the area.
Fire fighters and police officers were called to Kilbirnie, Glengarnock, Fairlie and Largs on Wednesday evening.
Mark Asbury, who lives in a flat on Main Road in Glengarnock, said it was the worst case of flooding he had seen.
The area is susceptible to floods and in 2008 a major clean-up operation took place in Kilbirnie when the River Garnock burst its banks.
The river runs for more than 20 miles from its source in Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park to its confluence with the River Irvine at Irvine Harbour.
Along the way it passes through the towns of Kilbirnie, Glengarnock, Dalry and Kilwinning to its confluence with the River Irvine at Irvine Harbour.
Mr Asbury said: “It is flooded to the front of my house – it is unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
North Ayrshire Council was put on standby and Strathclyde Fire and Rescue, along with Strathclyde Police, have been helping local residents.
The Met Office had warned of torrential downpours on Wednesday evening with the threat of localised flooding in the Glasgow area and in the west of the country.
