THEMike Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Yeah, I was just going on what told to me by the lady who's husband works for the council. Chinese whispers I suspect. Sorry about that. Bloke probably didn't know. Wife probably exagerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauragolf Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Further disussion: The "Burst" may be the few small breaches already rumoured. Given we've still got power, I suspect it's not burst. its the banking thats giving way due to the stream at the side thats why they cannot open the flood gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 News 24 and Sky are both using old images but they do have reporters in sight of the scene so you could expect pretty instant reports of anything major. I have nothing to update further from my (completly reliable) source so I'm treating the report in #54 with extreme caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingOn Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hey guys Thought I'd give you a few best wishes from Barlby. As you may remember, we were submerged in 2000. We know what you're all going through. Best of luck to you all. Stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSK Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 A collegue's husband works for the council. Information just received: The damn has burst, the pylons at threat have been knocked down. I can't vouch for this, just reporting what I have just been told. If this isn't the case, perhaps this post (#54) should be deleted or edited to prevent anyone else from panicing (like I just did)?
