Little Bowden's River Jordan burst its banks last night. At one time it flowed past the village church and around the green, so perhaps it was looking for its old course. The roads affected were reopened this morning.
I live near the Jordan, but if my road floods it's because a little stream is unable to flow into the river and backs up until it spills over.
Later. After posting this, I went for a walk. The floods on Kettering Road, shown in the video above, had vanished, but the mud and debris on the pavement suggested that the stream beside my road had overflowed at some point in the night.
