Re: 5th December 2015 Rainfall and Flooding
I have been away all weekend and therefore missed the action - will try and save some links and photos later.
Social Media is swamped with data.
From my point of view, river levels here look similar to 2005 ( Eden ), but Irthing looked fairly normal this afternoon.
