Default [WR] South and East Essex - Current record rainfall totals locally-Hadleigh and Canvey Island almost 90mm.
As at 20.30 - still raining
Laindon (here) 71mm
Corringham - 76mm
Hadleigh - 89mm
Canvey island- 87mm

This is a particular problem on Canvey Island as it is below sea level.
The roads are under a foot or more of water as high tide was around 4pm
so the water can't flow away. The main A127 is also shut.
Maybe why there were yellow warnings issued Lawrence?
