Subject: RE: BS: Everyone ok? (Floods UK)
It's the worst I've ever seen in 19 years here in Beverley, East Yorks.
Roads like lakes, lots of flooded houses nearby but I'm able to report I'm still 'dry'. Thanks for concern. Helpful having a drainage ditch behind my back hedge!
My husband has just left for a job at East Midlands Airport tomorrow ...(It's 8pm UK time)and he's heading out a different route as the villages between us and the M62 are not yet clear.
Actually he's already been re-directed by the police into Hull and then out the M62. It'll be a long cautious drive. I believe the bad weather is still threatening around M18/M1 so he's going to call me later. Thank goodness for hands free mobile phones.
Looking down my road now I can see the centre line markings which were under 8" of water earlier today. It's receeding yippee.
For those who know Linda Kelly... she lives at No 25 and is dry... but no 29 is being 'pumped out now'! Some of us are so lucky. Best wishes to all.
Hazel.
