Storm Reports 28th July 05

[Rob W]

BBC Look North have said that they've had reports of a possible tornado in Hull, yesterday evening. Can anyone confirm this?

Well the flooding I predicted last night occured, there was about 2 feet of water at the bottom of my road at the worst of it, which completely cut off Scarborough General Hospital, meaning ambulances couldn't get in or out. According to the newspaper, water was 4 feet deep in some areas and while I saw lots of evidence of fairly extensive flooding, I didn't see anything quite like that... The place with the worse flooding is only 2 minutes walk away so I might have to check it out and see if I can see any water marks on the walls of the buildings around there at some point. There was an awful lot of mud and silt covering the roads this morning too I noticed, before the council sweeped it to one side. Scalby Road (A170) must have been like a river during the worst of it.
