Well well well. So yesterday after it raining for a million years straight it all caught up with Sheffield and we were deluged with flooding.
That’s the river that became of the road around the corner.
It took Laura 3.5 hours to drive a windy route home avoiding flooding to do a journey that normally takes about 15 minutes.
Here’s what some other folk had to say about it [news.bbc.co.uk]. Meadowhall centre and the surrounding areas got hit pretty badly. Apparently so did the Chesterfield area, though luckily I hadn’t travelled in to work because of an unrelated incident earlier in the day that closed the motorway junction.
Talking of the motorway, here it is
Completely empty, because they’ve closed it around our junction for safety reasons since a dam is close to bursting and could flood the road if it went [news.bbc.co.uk].
Considering the chaos around us, we’ve actually been quite lucky on our dry, powered, hill. ooer.
