What people think, is it's nothing to do with what they've done, sitting there looking out at their fully block paved, or imprinted concrete space that used to be a garden. A space now used to sit their two/ three cars on. This means that not only is there no longer somewhere for the rain to soak away, it now runs off into an already stretched drainage system. Then you've got the heat reflected off the surface when it's sunny, rather than it being absorbed by the grass and other planting. Then they've removed all the plants that turn Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen. Finally add this up for every household that has done this in your street, then look at across the towns, cities etc and you are looking at a large amount of land, that once helped keep the air cool and allowed the rain to filter into the water table, has disappeared under concrete. Open you eyes people! This isn't just a government issue. It's on your doorstep!
Quite simple if the planning authorities have the nouse to do it. No more block paving use plastic grid and 3/4 inch stone. Clean footing and easy water drainage.
Yet again England gets a bit of rain and it's headline news........... should see it here in Scotland, where we got 10 times the amount of rain. Even Noah would have kept the Ark moored up, never seen anything like it, trees down, roads literally washed away (and I mean gone, no tarmac left, nothing but a muddy trough) power lines down (just dangling there) - - - - - not that I'm complaining, at least it stops the wife cooking!!!
All you EV owners... bear in mind the Tesla owner whose new car was recently towed in after getting damp from heavy road spray. He was none too impressed with the repair bill of £17,500. New batteries are not cheap, but a car with a compromised battery cannot be driven. There is no possible comparable disaster with an ICE car. EVs a few years old are being written off, because the cost of a new battery can be 50% of the value of the car. Thank heavens, at last, the corporo-governmental greenwashing is being recognised.
Took me 2.5 hours to get home to Matlock from Derby and at that I had bailed out at 1pm. Any later and the A6 would have been flooded through Milford and Duffield. It was blocked at Ambergate as it was. Had to go to Alfreton then Stretton then Ogsten Reservoir to Ashover then Slack Hill to Matlock
If you got your EV battery wet, even from upward spray, the recommendation is to park it 50 ft away from any other vehicle for 3 months, until you are reasonably sure that no short is developing between cells, leading to thermal runaway. Good luck with that one! At the very least, when your battery explodes, make sure your car isn't blocking your fire escape route by being parked close to your front door - or anyone else's.

My neck of the woods! Hall Lane always flooded , you couldn't see the road sometimes it was that bad until they raised the road bridge over the Rother. Just been on the 'Ramper' this morning, There's a car in the hedge bottom and a big flood still over the road just after the nurseries. It's been very bad round here , worst since 2007.
Fun fact. Electric vehicles can go through very deep water because they have sealed units and no intakes. ICE … unless snorkel exhaust, usually going to fail miserably.
Omg, some people need to do some simple research on the potentially catastrophic effects of water on EV batteries! EVs don't come out at the other end of the flood and catch fire! 😂 It can take weeks or months before the effects are seen, when the resulting corrosion causes shorts between cells.
So can we establish what impact under investment and lack of maintenance on riverways, ditches and drains, plus the huge expansion of building houses and industrial development has had! In my area, all above has definitely increased the likely hood of flooding.
I drove from Dronfield yesterday, Snowdon Lane was flooded in two places. I managed to turn around and find my way to Eckington, then into Renishaw. My journey to Worksop usually takes 45 minutes, it was double that yesterday.
If it’s a puddle it’s an inch or two. If it is as deep as that a) the car will float b) the the air intake will suck up water and hydraulically lock the engine which can bend connecting rod. It will also mess up the air sensor in the injector system.
The important thing is to know your car's wading depth - my old X-Trail could wade up to about 350mm, my current Disco4 can wade up to 700mm - the new Disco5 and the new Defender can wade up to 900mm. BMWs are the worst as their air intake is very low.
I’m with you on this , I’m no mechanic , but I know tha trying to speed through ,. 2ft upwards of water = you’ll get a Hydraulic lock ., eff up Ayer valves , rods etc ,. It’s amazing amount of people don’t know that .. also esp if cars are up to bottom of windows you still see people in transit van’s trying to get through ( & they got v low intakes,. 😵💫🙄) if I ran an Insurance Co . I’d laugh in there faces 🤷♀️
Road gully’s not being emptied of mud regularly and ditches not maintained where I live weeds and other plants are growing in the gully’s as they’re full of mud. That’s the problem.
I only feel sorry for the wildlife that suffer/perish in these 'man made' concrete jungles everywhere. Bloody farmers need to get their animals to safer ground, not just leave em in flood danger fields. They have weather warnings!
Last time I got caught in a flood was 2007. I was van driving at the time for Alcontrol at Templeborough, Rotherham. My colleague decided to take us through some water on the roundabout and knackered the power steering😂

@@markb1487 Must admit I've never seen Chatsworth Rd flooded. Glad I didn't venture to town yesterday my relative took from 17.00 to 22.00 to get home Chesterfield to Shirebrook. He couldn't get out of town.

Hate to hear animals have perished, those cows should have been brought back to a safe place, unfortunately they have been washed away, very sad, stay safe.
I think if you listen to the video again you will hear him say that the cows are usually In that field not that they were in the field, I listened to it 3 times
My drive Stockport to Dronfield took about 10 hours - about 5 of which was because I called for (understandably overworked) roadside assistance, thinking I'd damaged my brakes by hitting an underwater object - turned out it was just the plastic plate thingy dislodged by deep water! (deep for a Hyundai i10 anyway!)
Yorkshire Water is owned by overseas investors, who don’t give a toss about our flooding…But a nice fat share dividend? Why would they bother with sewer maintenance? Doesn’t affect them…xxx

@@sugarbertie1143 The only thing you can do! If possible, park on higher ground and walk or stay put!

Nothing to do with climate. Try building on floodplains so water speeds up instead of slowing down. Plus most surface water drains are blocked and haven’t been cleaned in a long time.
No river management, no sewer maintenance and more concrete covering the land everywhere...this will become the norm I fear.
Your sadly right on that one.
