Yet again South Yorkshire is in chaos with many of the roads closed
including the Sheffield Road from Rotherham cutting off Magna and the
local business parks including bradmarsh were the Environment Agency
is found. Started as surface waters not draining from roads during the
morning then the afternoon brought rivers to overflow both with the
Don and the Rother.

It's Weston Park. I'd be loath to make such a bold claim on
its behalf as the record contains some gaps.

Was thier weather guy Paul Hudson, although in a radio interview I
thought he said the June record had been broke by 35mm

Both News 24 and Sky News have rolling pictures from the Brightside Lane
area in Sheffield at the moment. Quite a number of people trapped in
buildings/cars, with water still rising.
