By heck, looks like they deffo got f***ed over..... been in that shop you show in that pic many times & there is I would say about 2 foot of water in that pic

As for the carpet shop me mate runs, if you know where Morrisons @ Hillsbough Barracks is, then he's just in the shopping arcade there (Tufts LTD)..... makes me wonder how his other shops have coped, especaly the one in Worksop.

These are the views I could see around the area of Meadowhall...

Look at the traffic lights in the 1st picture, that will give you an idea how flooded the road was -- the river is usually the left side of the road lights and has a 12 foot wall from the road to the river.

And as for the 2nd picture - look it's a car (somewhere)

In the 3rd picture is that smoke in the background or clouds? It looks a lot like smoke.

[Daza5056]

Yes, it's smoke

There are some factories just around that corner - they must have had an electrical fire due to the floods


I have just drove past Meadowhall today - and the roads around it are wrecked... Will pop over one day and get some photos of how low the river should be... and most of the damage.

If the shop was on main street in worksop it will have been flooded.

Todd is spot on as usual. Better get more sandbags. It's gonna be terrible until at least Sunday. I do fear for these people. Bet the Government sits on it's arse until it's too late.

We have more tornado's per sq mile than the USA. Its just that the ones over here tend to be far less powerfull, and therefore less noticed. If global warming does exist, then they will be getting stronger over the coming years I would assume. But it is a proven fact that we have more tornado's than the US.
