Sheffield Flood 25 June 2007

AMAZING VIDEO TAKEN 25 JUNE 07 IN SHEFFIELD. Places filmed include Ecclesfield, Chapletown, Meadowhall, Thorncliffe Industrial Estate and the last part of the video is Brightside Lane just off Upwell Street. The water on Brightside lane was around Six foot deep at the height of the flooding. The Police, who were stood behind me, had a call saying that a driver was still trapped in his car! The tractor went to look!

Never seen this footage until tonight , looks like it is happening again 2019 . Jesus watching that is scary didn't realise it got that bad , top bloke the lad in the JCB

[@N0t_R1l3Y]

I know the meadow hall bridge has already overflown let’s just hope it doesn’t it’s like the 2007 flood ...

[@YorkieLad]

@@N0t_R1l3Y Could be as bad , the rain hasn't stopped all night and still pissing down now . and when it does stop it can still be running down off the hills for days after so tomorrow will be a shock .

[@shiyang2030]

What happened today is nothing comparable to that of 2007... It was national... I was caught up in Gloucestershire first, and then again in Sheffield!

[@louishackney8269]

Ikr

[@silverbullet2008bb]

I lived at Ladys Bridge on the Wicker at the time. I remember this like it was yesterday.

[@COVbadman79]

When you hear real music and it's magical thanks buddy

[@aflatminor]

Anyone notice Sheffields famous pair of cooling towers?? They're not there any more, been demolished:(

[@vypper1000]

The day that i moved into my home in Sheffield. The first thing i saw when i had plumbed me TV in, was calendar news video of a rescue helicopter above the wicker. Young lad died up millhouses way. What an awful day.

[@Dazhimself]

I love the plant that keeps coming back!

[@wolflair3329]

Turns out it was Attenborough's plant cam

[@BIadesMan]

I worked at forgemasters when this happened.that bloke in the jcb was my boss at the time.i had to get back home to jordanthorpe that day.

[@125or200px]

So sad that the bloke who drove the JCB and rescued those people is no longer alive. He was only about 43 years old at the time. Committed suicide over a silly misunderstanding with some family members.

[@kathyhall3964]

That is so sad x

[@MrTtekcalb]

@2:00 is that the cooling towers that used to be at the side of the Tinsley viaduct in the background?

[@ultrasimplexdeuswhitescscope]

3:21 bin boat/ 2:00 tree having a swim

[@louishackney8269]

Arthur Neemes tbh if I was older in 2007 I'd use it as a boat

[@clipzstar247]

Haha

[@Dazhimself]

Thats me, i sailed home that day in the blue bin

[@highgreen6452]

I was working on my own at a house on East Bank Rd I had to get home to High Green I went wrong way down one way streets ran red lights etc ended up at Thorpe hesley ditched my 2002 focus estate then walked almost waist deep along cowley Lane to get home

[@Leberteich]

I was in Lloyd's Gym that day. We heard an almighty racket, stepped out to see sea rescue chopper hovering over some industrial units, rescuing people. Carlisle St was gridlocked which is unusual because through traffic usually uses Brightside Lane. But that day Brightside Lane was a river.

[@louishackney8269]

Watching this shows me how dangerous 3 days of rain can be...

[@brado2123]

This is one of my earlier memories, I was at holiday in the summer in 2007 and the rain was the worst I had ever seen. We just stayed in the tents constantly.

[@stoikes]

2:00 - Palm tree is having a right day out!!!

[@digicam11]

[@rachelhudson44]

I remember this day like it was yesterday. I didn't have College that day so I was home luckily, my bro had gone to school and my mom was at work. My bro got let out at 2 because school was flooding and mom finished work at 3. They both had to walk home, my brother looked like he'd been bloody swimming. I made him strip his clothes off on the doorstep and put everything he was wearing in the bin. not washing stuff that were soaked in mucky Don water and the converse I'd bought him for his birthday two weeks before were ruined, made him get straight in bath then my mom did the same when she got home.

[@BIadesMan]

Paul F I worked at forgemasters and my gaffer was on calendar too.he was in the jcb

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

It did seem that in may 2007 that we had a positive AO, but when our AAM dropped we knew by that time we would get extensive moments of HLB. Our easterly QBO was partly responsible for our summer washout in 2007 along with negative zonal winds across the troposphere aligning with the weak sea ice, the flip from el niño to la niña like we had in 1998 and 1988 meant that our chances of a good summer were screwed and we had very low solar activity at the time as well.

[@28conroy]

I was CAUGHT IN THE FLOODS

[@JamesSmith-gn9rl]

This is what you get when the councils don’t clean the drains. To save a bit of money then ends. Costing a twenty Million

[@lukechester8974]

um the flooding was a 1 in 400 year event so i doubt cleaning the drains would've helped much.

[@bluedragon859]
