As I left the Jug last night it seemed like I was driving along a causeway with vast lakes on either side of the road I have heard today that the A19 (The road between the M62 and the Jug) has been breached and is closed off. Mouldy might be able to give more info on this stretch of waterway as she lives nearest to it. Where I live in Rawcliffe the River Aire is about 30 feet from my house, it has risen to about one foot from the top of the flood prevention wall but so far has not come over the top. The flood plane on the oposite side has a six inch lower bank so it should all go that way but that area is already flooded. My Daughter lives in Cawood and their flood plane is overflowing onto the village side as we speak. She, along with my new grandaughter, have been put on alert and are expecting evacuation. I was across there earlier today and brought photos, birth certs etc. home with me. She lives in a single storey house. I see Cobble is still dry so Graham Pirt should also be OK. If the bloddy rain stops we should be OK Cheers Bill
