Yorkshire Floods

[mrspivvy]

anyone want to buy my house? it's in merthyr tydfil which is a shithole. but I can guarentee it won't flood....its up a mountain

[indiestar91]

I couldn't imagine having my house flooded and losing all my stuff like that and maybe even a family member. I just see this country as a weather safe place to live. Obviously not.

In my village we found that most of the water SHOULD have escaped the built up area through a dyke between two rows of houses. This had not been cleared since 1983. We even found one clown had put some gas pipe in as a culvert and filled in the dyke to gain space. Two years down the line we are still waiting for the dyke to be cleared out and hoping there isn't another rainstorm like 2007

Great video, was the cost of the flood damage £200m just in Hull or in all of the areas affected??? I'd really like a reply, coz it's for my essay!!!

I knew Mike a little bit, he used to sell me my marine fish and stuff. He was a really nice guy whenever he served me, sometimes threw in a free hermit crab if I bought a lot of stuff from kingston koi company. :( RIP

This is why I would NEVER live in a house unless I knew it was out of the flood zone. It's terrible what these people went through.

north people stand pround , this racist goverment only care about southern countys in england not the northern onces, why do u think we got no help and the southern bastards did !

[syharp281]

@wizard4513 dam right we stand proud, every one of us wanted to help others while goverment and southern areas watched on news and laughed.

[SnappyPenguins]

@wizard4513 If you think the government CARE about us southeners, then get down here and take a look at our horrible counties and cities! You should be thankful that they haven't turned your counties into the shitpiles that they've turned ours into!

[MrIigle]

@SnappyPenguins yeah i totaly agree bedfordshire= piece of crap

[Dykeolicous]

@wizard4513 I totally agree and I'm Scottish 

[AJuner78]

tasteful way of showing reality. No drama, outside the obvious. Good.

[jessaylen]

[nankervis23]

[xmissRosiiegurliex]

I myself was flooded :( its rele traumatic yhoo rele aught the emotion with the video x

[bethsqeak]

My sisters school flooded last summer because it is right next to a river. Anyway they repaired the rooms but didnt build a wall or anything next to the river and a few days ago she was sent home early because they thought it was going to flood.

[sn0wite]

no offence but maybe they shud of got sum sort of flood guard!! Unless it was a flash flood i apologise!!

[Panasonic2oo7]

Nice video.

People just dont no how much this costs to clear and fix the damage that has been done in Hull. Mike Barnett, aged only 28, died just by trying to clear a drain near his home

Brave man! and like amandaslim: said, people just laughed when making the videos!

[kajagoogoo20]

Gordon Brown is a pratt

[BluesmokeHenderson]

...nicely done. What's the song?

[amanderslim]

its nice to see someone posting who actually cares.many who posted vids just laughed it away, i dont think people thought at the time how bad it actually is to clear up afterwards.

my heart goes ot to the brave man who died in the drain trying to save his town from disaster.
