Bush Tucker Man:
What a surprise hearing about this on the radio  :shock:
Helmsley

I know the Rye can come up a few feet, but it literally engulfed everything.
Through sheer luck no-one was lost in the deluge, although plenty of farmers lost livestock.
A tragedy could have taken place, as a motorcycle rally (of over 10,000) was taking place at Duncombe Park (a large country house & grounds), luckily the majority of participants had already left.
Other surrounding villages were hit as well, Hawnby (up RyeDale) is still cut off from vehicular traffic.

We were on our way back from LQ to home (Malton) when the storm started.  It was freaky how quickly the weather turned.  One minute we were sweating in the heat, the next it got so dark that headlights were needed and we were treated to a superb aerial light show.  Then the rain started.

We managed to get home before the worst of it, but driving conditions were still terrible, and we saw a five car shunt.  It wasn't just a little shunt, I reckon all five cars were write offs.
