Trent is up.

[t-tony]

Someone posted a video on the local village website this morning showing the Trent was about to over top the 1st flood bank.
Since then this is at Torksey Lock.

This is the flood bank behind the White Swan.

Just had a look at the weather report for Torksey Lock.
Showing no rain until next Tuesday so things might improve mate ....

 

[Toby]

Keep filling the sandbags Tony - hopefully it wont get much higher, fingers crossed for you.

No good looking at weather for Torksey Lock, the Trent is fed from much further a field, its basin is huge so you may get a little higher yet, being tidal wont help either.

 

[AleNod]

You've got a bit of water there . . . .

Looks like a flood plain doing what it does.

Tony, maybe a good idea to deploy the Airbags in the Z4 just to be on the safe side

Not good mate, hope it gets no worse.

It has never flooded here in all my 64 years so I won’t loose any sleep over it.

Motorists warned over driving through ford

The ford in Nottinghamshire is the location of some of the highest number of flood rescues in England.

Incredible footage of the new Mercedes ML driving through this Nottingham ford, but impressive drive through backwards by the older ML!

Meanwhile in Wales ......

Storm Christoph: Bridge over the River Clwyd collapses

Drone footage captures the extent of the damage to the bridge, which was swept away.

And that will be why we don't get hosepipe bans. Which is nice.

Here are some pictures from Facebook. Not mine, taken by a drone.

You can see the Pump house where I took the pictures from yesterday in this one.

These two are a couple of miles away near the Millfield Golf course at Laughterton.

Great first image Tony. Good to see you are out on Flood Patrol.

 

[t-tony]

Locals at Laughterton concerned about cracking on 1st flood bank and water coming through rabbit holes in secondary banlk.
EA been informed.

Tony.

 

[ktnez99]

That sounds cause for concern.

 

[t-tony]

We had similar on the bank at the back of the pub a few years ago and the EA said if the standing water is clear don’t worry, if it’s dirty (ie. washing soil through), different matter) .

Tony.
