no flooding here..yet

good for fishing though will raise the water levels back up

I was doing deliveries for the thai takeaway on Wallasey rd and the road was flooded like a river. Stepped out of the car and the water was above my ankles.
Went home after that as didnt want to risk it, but driving through liscard, two young lads came out of Subway, with no tops on, and ran in front of my car for a laugh! Slammed on the brakes and almost went skidding as id been parked in all the water, and just missed them!

Just got back from The Magic Spices on Seabank Rd, we left during our main, water was coming through the windows and also all the lights.

Be careful driving down Leasowe Road there are manhole covers missing an ambulance and a taxi are trying to divert traffic around the holes under Wallasey Village staion bridge on both sides of the road.

the lids on the grids in leasowe road by wallasey village station on both sides had blown off into the air and left a hole in the road. A taxi had driven over one prob damaged his car and an ambulance had stoped before the open grid with its lights flashing to stop anyone else driving into the hole. one side the grid lid was lying about 2 foot away but on the van hire side the lid was no where in site!! so dont know where that blew too!!!! you could hear it making some awful noises blooping and girgling, scarey!!

We are on the top of the hill as well and our basements
are flooded - just finished bailing. Even up here the
drains were spouting water. Water seeped into some
neighbours electrics - just sorted that out. It will
be interesting to know how much actually fell on New
Brighton.

Lmao!! were was this I was out in it and never seen anything like that??

Why do I go on a road trip when the fun starts??

mmmmm, as the inbetweeners would say " were getting knee deep" not in clunge though but in rain/sewage!!

by the penny bridge and on Mill Lane by Limekiln Lane, dont believe it, go and check the grids are still up

It wouldn't suprise me if they have been nicked by now! Just shows how powerful water can be.

what ASE71 said.

Sorry have better things to do than go round looking at grids. I Never said I never believed you, i was wondering were about it had happen as I never seen anythink simple as that... And the lmao was at the way you had put It i found it funny that sewage was shooting up into the air. Is that a crime???

When I went down Lesowe road trough Wallesy village during the height of the storm it was coming up through a drain next to the railway station and the road was several inches under water but still shallow enough to drive through. It was gushing up above the surface about 2ft but not exactly shooting up in the air like a geyser. Thats my boring eye witness report, accurate as I can make it without any wild excitement.
For the record for those unaware, the surface water drains are separate to the waste water system(sewage).

Thanks for clearing that up kev
