Sitting on the bok of the day
Severe flooding in York - a bit concerned about a couple of friends who live near the river (not for their safety as I'm sure they will be fine, just in case they have had to evacuate, losses, damage etc.).
Whole situation is awful - I can't imagine the disruption, the inconvenience and the loss of possessions and livelihood.

My brother's work is flooded, so he can't go in 
But the cinema is flooded, so no Star Wars tomorrow
Gonna have a look at Kirkstall in a bit. Apparently the Abbey is flooded. It's just down the road from my sis, but she lives at the top of a hill.
Really shocked by all this.

If the water levels never went higher than this, then nobody's homes will have been flooded in Leeds, 'just' businesses
Plenty of homes around Clarence Dock will have been hit, they've been flooded several times in the past. Places downstream of Leeds tend to get it worse, some bits of Wakefield were badly hit in the past although some defence work has been completed there. The problem with Leeds is that they haven't really started building new defences yet.
Even poor old Rochdale's had a wet one.
People in Rochdale asked to turn off their Christmas lights to save power
Open up the river they said, it'll make the town more attractive they said...Oh well, like living in Rochdale couldn't get any worse.

I'd be really fucked off if I owned one of those businesses. No way would it have happened there if they hadn't opened up the river.
Shirl how is Hebden now? I texted you today, are you on the same number?
The flooding has gone from Sowerby Bridge now. There was a lot of people out doing a cleanup earlier on.
Still on the same number Glitter but we've had no vodafone signal here for over two weeks. I only get texts when I leave Hebden
I've not been into Hebden today, not been out infact as I've got a throat infection and feel like shit. Lots of cleaning going on in town. I've seen photos and there isn't a business on Market Street that hasn't been trashed. Lots of houses too with furniture, possessions and even their christmas trees outside and covered in mud
The water has gone but it's going to be a long time before things recover here.
Bingo
Shitty-shoed bastard
Calder Valley is a tory seat mate.
Major sympathies to all in the North. All this is shocking. I'm taking it that these latest floods are a lot worse than those summer floods in Hebden and area back in 2012 (?)?
I know places that didn't cop it then are being badly hit now.
I'm afraid the forecasts for the coming week at the moment look dreadful -- fingers crossed for you all that they improve in reality.

It's truly awful. I drove down past the station, which was massively flooded, and it looks dreadful.I've just seen some photos of Hebden too. I don't know what to say, it is so bad.
Kisses for the throat too. (With a mask, obv)

And our MP is an atrocious cunt.
But our nasty bastard tory mp doesn't give a toss about most of the Calder Valley. He knows he's hated in Hebden so won't be shouting for help for anyone here.

Fucking dreadful. My mum's high up and is ok, but the damage is really bad.
Horrible, but I admit I sort of smiled at it being Drake Street - nice weather for ducks, sort of thing. Sorry.

Thoughts with all affected Take care @Glitter @Shirl. York is looking grim this morning - we seem to have avoided the worst here in East Yorks.
@Sweet Meiga How's things with you? (not sure if you're in the area over Xmas).

heckling from the back!
I suspect only carefully selected people will get to meet him, if the trip to Carlisle/Cumbria is any guide; when he saw *some* flooded areas and met "representatives of the emergency services".

You local Bingo?
I looked at a house down there but decided it was too close to the river.
