Newcastle Floods 28/06/2012

[@Pearly403]

Brilliant video and the music is so fitting. I think on this day I experienced real fear for the first time in my life.

[@solarbuduk]

Thanks for saying what the music was, I was wondering all the way through. Perfect!!

[@edsternet]

very nice production with very fitting soundtrack. Well done you.

[@ValderiValdera]

Well put together:) TV programme last night reminded me of that day - I was told my Dad had terminal cancer. 3.45pm left Freeman Hospital in state of shock, didn't get bus straight home, couldn't face seeing anyone I knew. On bus to Newcastle went into darkness coming out of Cradlewell Bypass and into the storm. Met my husband from work, no buses so went for meal & drink. Waited 1hour+, still no buses. Started walking 9.45pm. Bus came as we got to Shields Rd. Home to Killingworth after midnight.

You talking about Whitley Bay High School? I remember a Mr Dean from there..

[@livelovelaugh247xxx]

My geography teacher was on the news kayaking around his garden! It's weird because he tells us about how he goes kayaking at the weekend! But it was really bad where I live. Our school was off for a few days and we can't do PE until after summer :)

[@Muserings]

Wow, some dramatic photo's here - the bus ones around 1.10 are crazy. The floods and hosepipe ban at the sametime ispired me to do a silly song. You can hear it if you click on muserings below (no advertising involved).

4:10 Walkergate my home 😥 I was only 3 years old when this happened

[@neonskyline1]

I was at Blaydon working, i was the only person on the street who's car was not waterlogged, with it being a VW Touareg, i still had to put pallets down to get in the back door lol dead lakes reappeared in some places for months

[@RetroGamerVX]

Yes, my wife called me upset to say she was stuck in newcastle, so I drove north from Chester le street. I saw the blockage on the a1 southbound that was causing the holdup and followed one continuious queue of cars from that flood right into gateshead. I said, we have to drive north to get out of here and got lost several times before finding the right road that went south to Consett, then headed through Lanchester (until we found the floods there), Stanley, then to chester, it was a very ...

[@glspb]

Brilliant pics...thanks for sharing :) x

[@williamwilbur]

Nice video, KrYpToN82! WOW! I never knew the floods were that bad in Newcastle! LOL :D

[@johannachristou6894]

Great photos.... Thanks for sharing :-)

[@Tardisty1982]

sorry to hear about your dad, pretty crap day all round for ya, i watched the program on channel 4 but didnt get to see the end as my lovely tivo box clipped it :\

[@trevordixon1427]

I lived in wycliffe avenue.ne3.1st floor.had to go ib back door.still deep.

[@haribo172005]

my theory on where this storm came from is the haarp weapon, if you arent familiar with it have a look, theres plenty videos on here about it

[@Tardisty1982]

it's even worse by mine now since the rain this week as you would of seen in newburn which is a mile from my house :\

[@RetroGamerVX]

I remember that day, it was bonkers, to get from newcastle to chester le street, I had to drive through Hexam, took us 4 hours!! :o(

[@IidoliseJohnnyDepp]

It is fitting and I have the right to tell you that as I was stranded in these floods in a tiny car it took my cousin over 4 hours to drive home when in normal circumstances it would have took us 15 minutes so stop having a go

[@ValderiValdera]

Ta:) The negative/removed comment about the music is way out of order. People should get things in perspective. I'd rather have had my house flooded that night than lost my Dad 3 months later.

[@dennisheemskerk4409]

is this normal in newcastle

[@catherinewatson7360]

i live here but i was on holiday when it happend!;)

[@merak2913]

Same 🤣

[@Tardisty1982]

took my brother 6 hrs to get from percy main to lemington and my sis took 5 hrs to get from newcastle to prudhoe and my lass 4hrs to get from longbenton to cullercoats lmao i was at home the whole time i feel a tad guilty

[@merak2913]

I was away in Tenerife when this happened hehe

[@Tardisty1982]

some of the floods were nowhere near any rivers i.e the coast road etc it was just months worth of rain fell in 2 hrs and alll hell broke lose

[@Tardisty1982]

nicely put :)

[@RetroGamerVX]

...tiring journey, we had a cuppa, then collapsed in bed. Apparently, Newcastle was still gridlocked at 23:30!!

[@bart91178]

That was my day ruined literally car and garage flooded only thing that wasn't wrecked was my kayak which came in very handy

[@Tardisty1982]

only since this year

[@275mtb]

Fuck me i didn't know coast road was that bad I was only like 3 at the time

[@Tardisty1982]

i thought Latura's Theme from the movie Daylight was rather fitting lol

[@Tardisty1982]

her comment did her no favours lol what she said the complete opposite happened. 3 momths ouch so sorry :( houses can be repaired or replaced but a loss of a relative cannot.

[@dtr4eva]

amazing stuff man that hpoto at :48 is fanatstic!, luckly for me i was inside but my heart goes out with respect to all who where out, itl ake more then rain and thunder to beata gordie XD

[@amanahilham6209]

I miss Newcastle so much....

[@buzzinbenny]

I quite enjoyed the music...was dramatic

[@williamwilbur]

Really? It looks like a large flood, to me! LOL :D

[@Tardisty1982]

[@Tardisty1982]

[@aristotlechange1424]

This flood was no accident!!!

[@Matty12333]

These were truly the worst floods I have ever seen or should i say yet! Feel sorry for those at newburn who had their houses demolished due to floods.

[@Tardisty1982]

[@GH-wn1tr]

I live in Newcastle and saw this storm

[@dizzydarkrai247]

Me too! The sky turned green where I live, the local school flooded and my back garden was like a lake!

[@GH-wn1tr]

I know it was BROWN !!!!!!!! Where I lived (Light Brown.).

[@GH-wn1tr]

And also my school was flooded too !

[@GH-wn1tr]

When I walked home from school it was like walking in a river !.

[@odinofthenorth]

2:34 - 2:39, That's where I live!

[@Tardisty1982]

there was bound to be 1 out of nearly 17.000 hits lol and there is no need to be aggressive nobody else was being

[@wigzenga]
