From the outside:

This is Kirkstall Road - a major arterial route to the city. It's barely credible.

No wonder the flooding has been bad for this region

Wettest Decembers on record for NW England and Wales

243mm (up to 26th Dec)

201.7 1986

195.5 1951

and this followed the second wettest November on record with 206.4mm

So that's about 450mm for the 2 months to B. Day- probably higher already now.

I bet no Nov-Dec total gets close, Kev?

Visiting my home town of Otley today to make sure my elderly dad and disabled sister are OK. Wish me luck!!

APERGE showing up to 100mm over next 3 days in the NW and in many other western parts, not good.

In already soden areas that is really quite a worry , as I said a few days ago I hope these people are well aware of what is potentially on its way

Potentially calamitous I'm afraid.  We should hope this is simply wrong.

I see this thread isnt as busy , which is good. The levels must be going down

BBC reporting that Tadcaster Bridge has collapsed, and gas main may be ruptured. Very alarming - anyone that knows Tadcaster will know what a important part of the town the bridge is.

EDIT: captured on video:

Not good really , is it??

Depressing and alarming for a good few in low laying areas of the N and W.

Went down to look at the levels in the HR area today, and chatted to some others who have lived in the area for quite some time. As I suspected, levels weren't as high at their peak in that area (Groves, HR etc) as in 1982, but were pretty close.

Looks like the wettest ever month for NorthWest England and Wales going off the 1873 rainfall regional series and this followed the 2nd wettest November in that series.
