Major roads were closed and some houses evacuated as 322 flood warnings were put in place.
In stunning footage, a five-aside astroturf centre in Nottingham was left flooded up to the roof of the clubhouse.
And various sports were also affected by the chaos caused by Henk.
Huntingdon racecourse was left submerged, causing major fixture worries.
But it was not not just horseracing and football affected by the bad weather.
Worcestershire Cricket Club saw their New Road ground also hit by flash floods.
The 5,500-seater arena is one of the oldest around, having been built in 1896.
New Road has played host to three men’s One Day Internationals, with the last coming in 1999.

But its location on the west side of the River Severn makes it a flood risk.
The ground took on three feet of water during heavy rain in 2019.
And the iconic river burst its banks again this week, leaving New Road swimming in extreme levels of water.
