The video shows the carpet of the arcade completely saturated by rainwater, with one person's valiant attempt at slowing the flood by placing a bucket of water under the leak likely short-lived. 

The machines in the arcade and electronics all appear to be on and working as the rainwater floods the floor.

The entire county was hit hard by the heavy rain throughout yesterday. 

Monday's speedway meeting in King's Lynn has been cancelled and police and fire crews were called to flash flooding in North Walsham, which saw a busy road closed due to the floods.
