Floods in Chesterfield
« on: July 06, 2012, 05:33:21 PM »
Just read there are floods at the bottom of Duckmanton hill, with three cars stuck.

Watch out if you're driving in that area.

Not raining at the mo, so had a quick drive around a few areas that flooded last time - rivers are swollen badly, but no flooding I can see.

It's Tom Lane, not ducky Hill. Our_Lass drove through it earlier  :))
Luckily she got through it  8)

Hate to think what it's like now. About 3ft deep ?

Police are advising for everyone to stay away from the Meadowhall area tomorrow. The river is close to bursting its banks and still rising. Incase you were planning a visit to Meadowhall, please avoid it instead

Spent the day in Bradford and surrounding area today, very flooded roads in some areas, left about 2.30 to come home, expecting about 1 hrs drive straight down M1, got home about 5.00 after barely doing 30mph at any stretch.....basta*d. Took all day to do what I normally do in a couple of hours.
