Nothing as dramatic as what's been in the papers or on the TV but I caught this fella who wasn't prepared to risk going any further as the water began to rise.......

[Charlotte]

Could have used his umbrella as a boat

[P-E]

He probably just had his hair done

[namllihs]

Who needs a flood filter with weather like this.

[Charlotte]

He looks like all that water's making him want to go to the loo

[Steve400]

lol the boy in the polos a bit rash!!

[Charlotte]

Yes you're right The padestrian is kinda looking at the Polo as if to say "You splashed me! Now look at the mess you've made!"

[Markulous]

Did the Polo make it through?
Did the van ever attempt it?
Is the man still there?
Has the water gone down?
Is Sheffield the new Venice?
(Has it survived a visit from PC?)

[KenCo]

I feel sorry for all those people who have had homes flooded, pleased I live on high ground.....Great shot mate.

Yes very sad Ken.

Here are few more showing the reason why this main road in to Sheffield soon gets flooded......

The manhole cover always blows under the pressure and lifts the road around it....on Monday afternoon all but one cone had drifted down the road leaving an open drain which was unseen to anyone that didn't know it was there........



Just a little further back the railway floods coming down the banking and over the wall adding to the volume of water........



Of course no problem for white van drivers........



Thanks Ian

I took these at the other end of the City to where all major problems were........not sure what Gary B has captured but would imagine he was in the thick of it all.

Yep, dodging road blocks and making the landy do what it is supposed to do, Some nice pics there Ian, The bridge flooded as usual but I noticed it cleared pretty quick, I had to go round the ringroad to get anywhere that night, finished taking pics about 2 Am waiting for ladys bridge to collapse but it didn't, came damn close, the water was about a foot below breaching the wall. Nearly got took out by a falling tree on Manchester road.
