Re: Immense Flooding

That is bad that pal,not even had any rain here nr hull,bit overnight dry today tho :

 

wow never rained in filey more that a light shower

 

It rained heavy in Whitby for a few hours yesterday. But out in the esk Valley it was torrential all day.

 

Nature at its wildest,
all that money gone down the drain ,literally.
feel sorry for the poor sod that left their car there ,wonder if the insurance will pay up ,act of god and all that ,doesnt take much for insurance firms not to pay out.
so much for scorching september.

frank.

 

Some one put a video of flooding in skinny grove as well looked well bad. I had an hour on Whitby west yesterday till security bloke dragged us off and closed the storm gates. Sea was well away . Piss wet through but loved it

 

bet your glad he never pulled you off ;D

 

Moors road wasn't nice yesterday.
Flooding around Charltons and the dip just after Scaling Dam was quite deep too.
Drove back up the Grinkle road and there were abandoned vehicles looking like they might have been stuck an hour our two before.

 

Anyone else got any pictures please ??

few updates of local flooding

some on face book according to a user of more kayaks on ryhills road in marske last night.

 

Our house in north Skelton flooded. Past knee deep out our front and easily 4ft round the back



Out the back while it was pouring through the door

 

I was there today and the damage was shocking BUT to a certain degree some of it was self inflicted ------ there is a lot of large tree trunks
very large branches , which smashed the chain footbridge and essentially caused dams where the other bridges , forcing a lot of the water to go
anywhere but the river , these huge pieces of debris have come from higher up river in saltburn woods , now if some of the workshy were put to work pulling up these trees etc up the bankside away from the river with the aid of Turfers and chain on regular inspections to a certain extent it
would much lessen the problem

 

but it wont lessen the problem of comments like yours may b if u start the ball rolling and b the first up there ill lend u my axe and wellies

 

thats a bit much fishface.you are new and if u knew big ciffs reputation you wouldnt be saying it.
he has done far more than most to maintain paths access and waterways.

he knows what hes talking about and i think the majority of members would agree with his cimments.

however welcime ti the forum.feel free to ask for any help/advice.it is freely given,especially by the likes of big cliff.

 

Unfortunate circumstances but top reporting & photos. With the sea defences breached lets hope there's a quick fix before winter comes :-(
