colinuk · 25 Jun 2007 at 13:52

Question is, is it a hole or is it now a boating lake? lol....

m3csl2004 · 25 Jun 2007 at 14:12

gumbald · 25 Jun 2007 at 17:51

Yeah, it's wet. Think most of the roads in are now shut. Taken some photos, but not got my phone cable here. I was meant to be going back to York today for the last few days of uni, looks like I'll have to try again tomorrow...

Someone died in Hull today, they got their foot stuck in a drain and rescuers spent 3 hours trying to rescue him before the water got too high and he drowned.

Why on earth didn't they just have his leg off ?

Is it better to have one leg or to be dead ?

Im from hull myself, live on kingswood. My aunt and uncle have come here to sleep over as their house on the other side of kingswood is completely flooded. Just getting the pics from my uncles digital camera where you can see a nice 2/3 foot of water throughout his whole house and waist height water outside on the driveway.

I had to wade home from work which is only 5 mins away in knee high water in my work clothes

Really bad here atm, a lot of the streets near us have been evacuated due to being unlivable -.-
