  1. Stats from the Met office :

    Rainfall in the Preston area was the heaviest, for such a short period, that has been seen for many years . The Ribble burst its banks at Walton Le Dale, Penwortham and Samelsbury, with bridges being closed from Friday afternoon for around 6 hours. The river Darwen burst its banks again near Preston, Croston flooded, there were numerous trees down on Saturday morning. There was also flooding in Chorley, Wigan and Darwen from rivers and brooks.

    Here are some river level readings taken from the EA website :

    Just gives you an idea of the amounts of rainfall that came down and the effects on the river levels. I'd no idea until i looked how high some of the rivers actually got. Its June not October !!

    Yep never seen the River Ribble so high. It was low tide when I was in Walton Le Dale on Sat but the water level was still very high. You could see where it had been previously due to the water line on the battered banks. Lots of people evacuated from properties in Lower Penwortham also. Crazy stuff, never known anything like it.

  2. Regionals will be merged back into larger areas shortly now that winter is drawing to a close. I know that for us cold and snow lovers winter hasn't been great compared to the previous 2 winters here in the NW. It has been frustrating for sure so thanks for bearing with it and keeping posting.

    It's been nice to see both familiar faces and newcomers. For those of you who will will be leaving, I'll see you back here for Winter 2012/13. For those of you staying, then I'll see you around the place. Here's hoping for a warm summer with a few good storms chucked in for good measure.

    Cheers
