auntysocial Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Thats brill that you got help..im really confused though, I have seen no flood?? I saw some nasty looking clouds, then I went into a supermarket, when I came out the clouds were nice again and the floor was dry. Then I went on facebook later on and every status was about peoples windows shaking, flooded gardens, and how loud the thunder was:huh: Later the other half went to his friends house and witnessed for himself one mess of a flooded garden... I dont understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand. There are a few streets in Sheffield that flood if it so much as clouds over, AS:- the bit under the railway bridges at Heeley, for one, and the one under the railway bridge over Upwell street, between Grimesthorpe and the 'Cliffe. I was at the Lane for the footy, yesterday, when the rain came down. It came down in absolute buckets, and then turned to hail, I got a photo of one of the hailstones which were massive, they were bouncing up off the pitch to about 10-12 inches. it didn't last long, about 20 minutes, I suppose, but it was horrible while it lasted!

Yep I lived on Woodseats rd a few yrs back and if it rained bad, the water was to the top of the cellar steps, it was mad, but yesterdays events have taken me suprise because I saw nothing and no signs of anything either.. weird.. Hail stones!!! There wasnt even so much as a damp floor where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
