I am uploading this now as electricity to my house has only just been restored. This is a video I took of the Sheffield flood. The first part of this was filmed outside my place of work at 3pm. The column of smoke is from several explosions at an electrical sorting station which caused the blackout. The second part was filmed around Hillsborough and Loxley, after my little Fiat Panda tenaciously got me home at 7pm. I had left work near Meadowhall at 4.30pm. By this time Meadowhall and my office were flooded completely and the river had become a torrent.

  • @Heresiarch81 Thanks for reply. nice song :)

  • Excellent vid .

    I live in Chapeltown and know first hand about the devastation it caused.

    Just an idea ,but why not video the same places again,to show people the massive difference?

  • Great vid ! i realy feel for those with dammaged homes ... must be soul destroying ?

  • Was great to see the shots and still.  The damage to the factory wall was something. The difference of the befores. Keep up the shots guys great work
