North Yorkshire Floods

Jim-Willy:
Havn't been up that way for a while, if the ground is as dry as by me then the water will have come down sutton bank like a avalanche.  I live on top of a hill thank god!

hobbit:
Yes I saw another report about Sutton Bank, I lived in Thirsk for a few years, and you can get some mean and sharp stuff roll of the top there weather wise.

That was a real freak  downpour though, my daughter lives in Bradford and it passed over her place, she wondered what the hell was happening

--- Quote from: "landyloony" ---I was in northumberland on an RTV trial and was sweltering all day I never saw a drop of rain untill came down the A1 towards newcastle and roads where wet but in some places water was pooring out of the verges.

Did any one see the elderly couple being pulled from there micra in newcastle?
found out later in the local; news that some little b******s went back later and cleaned out the car. They even took the guys disabbled badge.

--- Quote from: "xmob" ---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.

Think we saw the same shunt.... it was northbound on the A1? A little further south there was another crash with a Mondeo or similar with its back over the central barrier.

We were coming back from Scotland and as you say, it was hot and sunny one minute and then the heavens opened. The lightning was almost constant at one point.... amazing to watch but not too much fun to be out in.

xmob:
Nope, on the A64 between Malton and Rillington.  Old Bill had only just turned up when we got there.  He looked well impressed at having to get out of his nice warm meat wagon into the rain.
