I'm amazed that this is the first South Yorkshire report today, so thanks
Simon! It's also been remarkably quiet on this ng, I guess that's because
it's all been happening in the North today!
Nearly midnight, so soon time to check the gauge, but I will comment on this
tomorrow.
Best report on Radio Sheffield today, the 3 wheeler car spotted floating
down the road - missed the location unfortunately.

I wondered when that was coming! Having watched the News about the floods in
the Midlands and North and the repeated reports on the weather forecasts and
phone-ins of the dire weather everyone has been having I was thinking at
least no one can complain about a S.E bias for once ;-)

uk.sci.weather outreported by the media.
