Sheff storm 8/8

[boldforester 10]

Hillsbough was horrendous. Was sat on a bus and the rain hitting the roof drowned out all the sound

 

Sound of what? Not the witty banter from your fellow passengers, I'm guessing...

Centre of Oughtibridge chaotic at the moment as the crossroads is flooded.

 

Manhole covers jetting water and motorists ignoring the traffic lights at the bridge roadworks, meaning drivers coming into the roadworks from Jawbone Hill might face unexpected oncoming traffic.

 

Hopefully it'll clear soon but the people repairing the bridge are doing a brilliant job guiding cars around the deepest water and manhole covers at the moment!

 

Ooh, sounds like I came through just in time! I thought I saw a tornado forming there too, I imagine it was just a suspiciously-shaped cloud

Here in Birdwell had a mega mega storm about 2 hours ago. It flooded the back patio area and my husband's workshop ( we've never had flooding before ) The road looked like a river.

It's bad again here. I know my garden needed water but this is ridiculous >_>

Someone turn off the tap already.

I've just driven up Burncross Road in Chapeltown and its crazy...how can there be so much standing water when you're driving uphill?! Impressive storm!

That sounds like my ideal bus journey.

Anyone driving on Low Road at Oughtibridge, take it slowly as it's flooded right across now and there's a car conked out on there due to going too fast.
