Sorry not my own photos , but I needed to record this horrible situation !
Storms Ciara and Dennis have caused no end of destructions including flooding in many parts of the UK . Locally there is much flooding in the town of Shrewsbury and also along the River Severn around Ironbridge and Jackfield . The temporary flood barriers have been put up along the warfage in Ironbridge but there is talk of evacuation as the barriers may not be sufficient and the force of the river is cracking the road . This poor pub in Jackfield , is well and truly soaking in the Severn ! -
It is trrible - and many are such picturesque villages too! Many people no longer have insurance either as if has happened to them before- such a sad situation. I can't think of anything worse happening to our home!
Heartfelt sympathy for all of the affected people! There's a similar situation in Mississippi and Alabama currently.
And we have greedy morons running things that are trying to deny man made climate
change!
Truly dreadful. I live at the top of a hill so have not been flooded out like so many have. My heart goes out to all of those that have been affected by the storms.
Such devastating images. I've seen Ironbridge on the TV and in the paper. I saw that the Boat Inn at Jackfield is flooded to its roof. Rosie and I ate there when we stayed in Ironbridge
A complete nightmare Beryl....the mess & dirt that’s left behind too is heart breaking. These photos are really quite frightening, it must be really scary sitting in the dark & water coming up.....insurance is a problem too plus could you ever sell your house again. Such weather variations in the world!
Oh my, these photos say it all. To just have one storm would have been bad enough, but two powerful storms within days of each other is a disaster. I’m so sorry for everyone suffering in your country.
Images like this and all the devastation caused by the storms makes me thankful Nottingham has good flood protection, but my heart goes out to those who have been affected and lost so much
OMG hope you are safe and dry. Pity to see these. I wanted to visit Iron Bridge when my son was in the UK but never came to going there. And now I have to see it in this condition.
And we have greedy morons running things that are trying to deny man made climate
