Logic3 Â Â 10 #14 Posted October 1, 2019 From the videos it's flooded the dipped under pass pathway on the Meadowhall side just past the overhead bridge from the station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Vaati   11 #15 Posted October 1, 2019 The rain should soon be over, so it'll go down pretty quick once it finally stops. Just saw the vid on Sheffield Online, there is hardly any protection at that part of the path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hadron   10 #16 Posted October 2, 2019 It doesn’t look like the new defence walls at Meadowhall will be tested just yet. Like before, the high levels of water will carry on into Doncaster, Goole and into the Humber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Funky_Gibbon   42 #21 Posted October 27, 2019 This is the current flood alert from the Environment Agency, the level they send out when river flooding is a possibility but not likely. Quote  River levels have risen as a result of heavy rainfall. Levels remain high and are currently peaking. No further rainfall is expected and consequently no additional property flooding is expected. The areas most at risk are Bolsover Coking Works and Netherthorpe. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring the situation from the Leeds incident room. Please see the GOV.UK website for a 5 day flood forecast. This message will be updated by 10:00 today, 27/10/19, or as the situation changes. This information was last updated at 1:58am Sunday 27 October 2019  I think our flood defences have done well and have done what we spent money on them for after 2007. We've apparently had almost the equivalent of the entire month of October's average rainfall in the space of about 18 hours and whilst some roads have flooded where the rain has pooled beyond the ability of the drains to cope with the level of the river has been high but not quite high enough to repeat 2007. I think the ultimate proof of that is that this thread hasn't been inundated with posts from people like the equivalent one was back in 2007.

Early prediction for Blackburn Brook at Sheffield Wincobank is that it will flood and will go higher than 2007 (https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/8261?direction=u)  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
