Advice has been issued after cars trying to cross floodwater have become stuck after drivers ignored signs, while some properties have also been flooded amid the aftermath of Storm Gerrit.
On Wednesday (December 27) and Thursday (December 28), North Yorkshire and the North East were hit by heavy rain and high winds - with a yellow weather warning issued on Wednesday.
Across the two regions, travel issues on roads, rail and planes were reported, while some houses were left without power.
On Wednesday, the A1(M) between Catterick and Scotch Corner was closed for several hours due to heavy rain, while North Yorkshire County Council closed the A684, Morton Flatts between Morton-on-Swale bridge and Station Road, Scruton, alongside ten other roads in the region.

Despite road closures in place, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has reported that several cars have tried to drive through floodwater.
On Thursday (December 28), an incident saw fire crews attend Kirby Wiske, near Thirsk, at around 2.40pm, which saw a car become stuck in flood water with two occupants in the vehicle.
Crews located the vehicle in approximately one foot of water. Crews assisted two occupants to walk from the vehicle to dry land.
This morning (December 29), at 6.20am, fire crews from Easingwold attended an incident on Thornton Bridge in Boroughbridge, which saw firefighters help a man to safety after his car had become stuck in floodwater.
Meanwhile, several properties in the region were flooded during the last three days.
On Thursday (December 28), fire crews attended a house on High Lane in Buttersett, near Hawes, where a fire crew from Hawes responded to a report of flooding in a residential property.
Crews diverted water away from the property and then attempted to unblock drains to assist in averting the flooding.
In the aftermath of the floodwater, North Yorkshire Police has issued some advice to drivers about navigating roads in challenging conditions.
A spokesperson for the police force said: "Localised conditions across our area are making driving hazardous.
"The roads are particularly badly affected around the River Esk, to the north of the county.
"Consider whether your journey is necessary. If you are driving, use your headlights, leave extra space to the car in front, and take it slow and steady.
"Please avoid driving through any kind of standing or moving flood water if you possibly can."
