More than three inches of rain fell over Devon, causing rivers to rise quickly and streams to break their banks.
The Environment Agency put a severe flood warning on the River Yealm, meaning there is “severe flooding” and a “danger to life”.
A spokesman said: “Rivers continue to rise quickly in response to heavy overnight rainfall.
“The rain is expected to clear on Saturday morning to generally drier conditions and river levels will begin to fall.
“Scattered heavy showers are expected to continue throughout the weekend.”
