I took a couple going to work Yesterday though.
Leeds City Centre
Railway line flooded
Nowhere to go!
Just about every single railway line within the Yorkshire area has been stopped either because bridges have been damaged or rivers have breached onto the line and washed the tracks away.
Jesus wept! That's mad, you're living a bit close to that.
Last time we had a small flood here some mates of mine made money pushing cars out of the water after idiot drivers tried to plough through in Fiestas!
Edit: LOL JsT. I love the train cancelled notice. "It is not possible to arrange road transport. But we are trying".
Why the fuck try if it isn't possible?!
Fun times. No pics though sorry.
EDIT:
oh my god i can see the sun *squints at the long lost sun*
Thats those poor sods near that dam isn't it?
I'd be fucknig there taking all my valuable stuff if they told me to leave.
They didn't have time. At 2am they were told to leave now. Police were waiting with transport to take them to a school about 10 miles away.
If the dam goes (more likely when it goes tbh) it will knock out the power in most areas of Sheffield and Rotherham. Right in the path of the water is a power station
Anyway, here are some photos posted on the plus.net website. They are based near Meadowhall, near where the people were evacuated by helicopter.
We have got off very lightly.
i love yorkshire accents
Sowerby and that lot have been alright. Its flooded further down!
Same!
On the bright side (for me) the M1 has been closed between j32 and 36 for 2 days now, and I get on at j37. Hurrah for empty motorways!

Yep, you get to join this -
And it ain't often that empty.
The very first pic. Im sure thats the PC World, behind which I had a piss on the way home from Manchester to Nottingham.
