Torrential rain hits Yorkshire
[ Photo of the day ] [Permalink]

Friday 15 June 2007 was the wettest day in North Yorkshire for over 30 years. Road travel was difficult, with many roads becoming impassable, as flash floods affected the whole county. A stretch of the A1 near Leeming Bar was flooded when 5.1cm of rain fell in just four hours.

The torrential rain caused the transport system to grind to a halt as many roads and some railway lines were submerged under flood water.

Rotherham Central station submerged under flood water on Friday 15 June 2007. The railway looks more like a canal than a railway line.
