Torrential rain, roads closed including Leppings Lane


Recommended Posts

I am at the top of estate...near the shops. Hope you are OK down there at the bottom. I really would hate to see a repeat of 2007. :)

 

Neither would I. My disabled daughter was stranded at the Post Office building at Attercliffe then. I was out of my mind with worry. The residents who were flooded out then must be feeliing awful right now

 

I sincerely hope that it's nothing like 2007 out there.

Is it as bad as the 2007 floods around Hillsborough? I lived there at the time and it was horrendous.

 

The rain is heavier than in 2007, but it's much shorter duration, it's covering isolated areas so there won't be the rain coming down off the hills in the coming days and it's not falling on ground that is already saturated.

 

Of course, that doesn't stop flash flooding with a downpour like this, but it's far less likely to cause widespread flooding.
