Feel so very sorry for you folks. I actually hoped to move to Hebden about 8 years ago but after checking out House prices realized I couldn't afford anything . Probably just as well 🤔 but I truly feel sorry for what you are going through . Much love to you all ♥️♥️♥️
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces Yeah I understand that thing about locals not affording to live there anymore 😶 Also their children not being able to afford . I am a Health Care Assistant , end of life care and on minimum wage 😶 Work 42 hour week . Can't afford anything these days . So very sorry for what you are going through 😢 Flooding ! Genuinely so sorry for what you are going through ! 😢😢😢♥️ You know what really annoys me too ! Stay at home , self isolate ! How do I care for my End of Life patients if I stay at home ??? Sorry for the rant ! 👍♥️
2:22 to 4:35, you can see that red car has moved from its parking position. That just tells us that water it strong and very destructive. We can not defeat water.
I spent yesterday afternoon trying to sand bag a mate's hairdressers shop in Haworth. But that was a trickle compared to Hebden and 'Royd. I just hope the powers that be can get their act together and stop the floods in Calderdale. People have suffered enough!
Bloody hell mate. That's a real shocker. Thoughts are with everyone affected mate. When you see footage like this it makes you realize how insignificant our normal everyday gripes are compared to the devastation and destruction caused by events like these. Take care all.
Any when you see somebody suffering with cancer or getting bombed in a war torn country it makes you realize that a bit of water is nothing to worry about, really. Perspective is key.
They don’t dredge the rivers anymore! They keep building on flood plains and the defences are no longer adequate, all these thing’s haven’t helped More needs to be done ! I feel so sorry for those effected by floods!
This is a concrete river bed so can't be dredged. There's definitely something changed though as it never used to come over the walls. Maybe just too many houses. Possibly all the wind turbines built of the tops over the recent years?
Thanks for the video, i did worry about your safety, though take your points about it being a solid bridge. Can just see my place where we copped it in the basement but its only a business not my home so i really do feel for you, Are Al and Mel ok?
Looks well bad mate I think that one of the problems is that many years ago during the 70-80s this rainfall would’ve fallen as snow & melted gradually & the flood defences were built for that back in the day. I’ve lived round the Calder valley all my life & never known it as bad
I've said the same thing. Although i do remember one flood about 20 or more years go when it had snowed then went a lot warmer with a lot of rain. The combination of stored water as snow melting with the rain made it flood. I know what you mean though, i can't remember the last time the canal froze and we could walk on it. That happened every year as a kid.
We used to get colder winters, so the water fell as snow & lay on the hilltops until the spring thaw, which did occasionally cause a bit of flooding but the thaw was gradual & the water courses were mostly able to handle it. Now it's falling as heavy rain & causing flash floods because it's draining all at once.
This is crazy, hope everyone was ok. That river looks real angry, your a brave man crossing that bridge! Thanks for sharing this demo of nature's power. Hope the recovery operation goes well for all.
Cheers buddy! Yeah it's getting sorted, gas back on now so that's good. Yeah it's mesmerising, i kinda wish i had gone up jumble to film the tributary, some epic gorges and waterfalls up there.
This is so scary! I was afraid one of those cars was going to be swept with the waters and knock you down. Thank heavens that didn't happen. The amount of water is mind blowing.
I live 30 miles away from Hebden Bridge but go there once a week for the past 29 years. I witnessed the flooding on December the 26th 2015. My heart cries out
Nah that's the tyre store for murts. Our flood store got moved to able fules apparently because it could have been washed into the street where it was. It was on the end for ages, we used it once to fill sandbags and cover the river wall, they just got washed off.
RideBikes_Walkplaces ahh. I didn’t know it got moved. It wasn’t fit for purpose as you say. Bags would have been just washed away by the torrent. Hope you are all ok.
They've done some flood works but gor us it actually made it worse at our house! Mytholmroyd has just had a lot of work done so we'll have to see if that works. Tbh the topography of the land here means it'll be really hard to control flooding. But as a trend it does seem to be getting worse. I think it's a combination of factors.
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces only get as far as under bank avenue to visit a relative. I park just after the bridge on the very right on jumble hole road. I like to give my car a time out once its navigated the pot holes that are under the bridge
That torant of water is shocking, I hope you and your family are OK and that your house is OK, we had a flood in norton canes on the burntwood Road where 15 houses was flooded.
I don't know what to say pal. Gutted for you. I know that area really well and I've never seen it like that. That is off the scale. Hope you get things sorted.

We got flooded once in November 2012, Christmas Day 2013, then about four more times through January-March 2014. We had a round a foot of water into the property, which at the time we thought was terrible. It's not until you see this that we realise how lucky we are, this is serious flooding! Hopefully the water levels recede ASAP, and you can get everything straight again. It may not be as destructive as fire, but I think it's fair to say it comes in as second most destructive!
Jesus I didn’t realise it was that bad at Hebden! Hopefully this rain is gonna bugger off, it’s even been coming over the walls by Silsden bridge and the rivers bust its banks!
as old as these villages are we need to revamp some of them bringing them up to modern day standards as we get huge floods that destroy so nows the time to move on with a revamp
The authorities seriously need to start thinking of increasing resiliance in these vulnerable communities. If these locked in weather patterns that bring either drought or flood are a manifestation of a changing climate (Arctic amplification and feedback on the jet stream, agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2012GL051000), and I think they are, this is only going to get more frequent and worse in the decades to come. The problem is, politicians can't see beyond their term in office.
Absolute nightmare bud for you and all effected by the flood.. I saw this video on a news thread yesterday and I thought I recognised your voice from your edits
Must say it was rather brave of you. Then going on that bridge. I've see bridges getting swept away in lesser flooding. That was right up to the top of the arches. That's it at it's most vurnible.
That is ridiculous that is. So dangerous you putting yourself at risk of being swept away like that. I mean the floods are ridiculous, not yourself of course. Stay safe. Feel so sorry for all the people affected by this relentless weather.
This is heartbreaking to see 5 years on from the last and it will happen time and again . Instead of wasting millions on flood defences that are futile , spend the money on rehousing the properties in the flood areas and rehouse them in higher safe areas and where the properties that are in flood areas now just demolish them and make a wider canal / river to make a wider relief of irrigation. That way the businesses can still trade and the residents can remain as a community and the village can REMAIN. Not an easy solution , but what is the alternative. Don’t waste the millions on flood defences that have been swamped after 5 years of millions of waste . Spend the millions thinking out of the box and save the Calder Valley from Todmorden to Brighouse . We have history. Keep it.

Hi mr sceptical brexit was a vote for common sense over corruption fortunately up here we still have a bit of CS left,so pour yourself another Prosecco and go back to sleep!
@Mickey Mouse i don't drink, but if the conversation was mountain bikes, walking, climbing or scrambling i'd be game! i might get a canoe for next time and have some fun on the water!
I've stood there and felt that bridge vibrate with the water pressure. Please don't stand on bridges during floods, that's how PC Bill Barker got it when the bridge collapsed under him. You'll get some more great footage and the new bridge named after you.
That bridge is pretty solid. It got fully reinforced in 2002. Massive piles into the ground, full concrete and metal surrounding and then walls. If there was a threat of nucular war, under that bridge is where I'd go!
Did you know natural countryside absorbs 70% more water than farmlands, 100% more water than concrete and tarmac. Every house you build is land where nothing can grow land that cannot absorb water. But that's the human species criteria isn't it to cover the whole UK in concrete and cry and moan about all the problems our behaviour is creating. for all this is down to us this is not nature this is nature that is unbalanced because of our behaviour. I hear the government talking about massive boom in jobs and housing, it just shows you the people you vote in haven't a clue where they live and it shows you they have no interest in the future pass their lifespan, and apparently the people who vote them in have the same mindset. If you destroy your environment then jobs and wealth will mean nothing because you won't be here. it's time for the human race to get its priorities right and at the top of the list should be our environment not creating jobs and wealth. what's laughable about all these is that the human race claim to be the most intelligent life on the planet, look around you and the state of the planet, brought about by our behaviour. It's not saying much about our claim that we are an intelligent species is it. Well let's face the truth, we also say that the health and safety of our children is paramount, so paramount is there safety and welfare that we have over 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, we have baby and food banks popping up everywhere, we allow our females to have children and a full-time job , we allow them to have them at any age any number and bring them into any environment. So it's obvious isn't it, for if we can't protect our children from being born into poverty, then how on earth are we going to protect our environment from being destroyed. The answer to that question is in these videos. and in the policy you all cling to so enthusiastically, one of endless growth in people on an island. It seems the human race will put up with anything as long as it doesn't have to control its numbers.
That's why i said people should vote brexit. I didn't actually vote as i can't be bothered with it all. We need population reduction imo and I couldn't see that happening with freedom of movement. There's too many people and they need to be gone.
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces Then we are alike because I voted brexit, to become an independent country. and I keep repeating to all the BREXITEER'S the only way you can become an independent country is if you reduce your population down to an acceptable level that this island we live on can naturally support. because independent means to stand on your own 2 feet to rely on no one for your basic needs to be self-supporting. the only trade you do with the rest of the world is for non-essential items only. but we haven't got brexit it is a lie it's time for the BREXITEER'S to wake up to that lie. you cannot live on an island claiming you wish to be independent but carry on embracing a system of endless growth in people. it is physically impossible. it seems there's a lot of people out there that do not understand the basic law of physics which is strange because they practice one particular law every single day of their life. That is you cannot endlessly put something into something that is not endless.
Only thing is would they pay us out more than it's worth so we could afford another similar house in the bridge? I say build on flood plains just build the right houses, raised up with s garage underneath.
RideBikes_Walkplaces yes or even that would work especially reducing the damage. Now that would be where it got complicated but maybe that could do it off the value before a certain date or year but then again it would be a pain to find a house in that price margin as most are very expensive so the government have some big issues to overcome. I don’t envy them
@@danielhunter34 I think it would be better to give big grants to flood houses rather than spend millions on flood defences. Say it cost 40, 000,000 for the recent ones and 15, millions for previous defences. Well 1000 homes were flooded. I say give the home's a 55000 grant to tile and render the downstairs, raise electrics and have plastic base units in the kitchen. The defence won't stop a flood like we had this time and in 2015 anyways. If you make it so you just wash out the home's then it doesn't matter how many times it floods.
What I cannot understand is just what has Calderdale done with the monies for flood relief! surely prior to Brexit, the UK would have received money from Europe for flood relief! it seems Calderdale Council has mismanaged the whole sorry saga.
Not long ago I had a dream where I was driving past Morrisons, #Todmorden and suddenly the car was engulfed in flood water ! What would #Freud have made of that ? The canal needs cleaning out and #Warman need to rig up a system to pump water over the hill! They make pumps big enough ! Has anyone got insurance after all the previous floods? Stay safe

@Mickey Mouse i don't drink, but if the conversation was mountain bikes, walking, climbing or scrambling i'd be game! i might get a canoe for next time and have some fun on the water!
Not a good time sell your house, I would have thought.
They were up for sale before 🤦♂️
Dude soooo bad. A lot of friends seeing issues too but you’ve had it bad.
It was a bit grim mate that's for sure
No click bate here🙏☀️☀️☀️
it is what it is!
I've stood there and felt that bridge vibrate with the water pressure. Please don't stand on bridges during floods, that's how PC Bill Barker got it when the bridge collapsed under him. You'll get some more great footage and the new bridge named after you.
That bridge is pretty solid. It got fully reinforced in 2002. Massive piles into the ground, full concrete and metal surrounding and then walls. If there was a threat of nucular war, under that bridge is where I'd go!
Wow
Impressive eh!
That is real bad.
Savage!
very optimistic for sale sign there....
They we're up before the floods. You never know though it's a beautiful place to live, a bit of water can just be washed away 👌
This reminds me of the Japanese tsunami -2011.
When it comes over the wall it certainly resembles it for sure.
It's so sad to see . This is people's lives and by the looks of this it's going to cause some damage
Just a bit of work, there's worse things that can happen.
Did you know natural countryside absorbs 70% more water than farmlands, 100% more water than concrete and tarmac.
Every house you build is land where nothing can grow land that cannot absorb water. But that's the human species criteria isn't it to cover the whole UK in concrete and cry and moan about all the problems our behaviour is creating. for all this is down to us this is not nature this is nature that is unbalanced because of our behaviour.
I hear the government talking about massive boom in jobs and housing, it just shows you the people you vote in haven't a clue where they live and it shows you they have no interest in the future pass their lifespan, and apparently the people who vote them in have the same mindset.
If you destroy your environment then jobs and wealth will mean nothing because you won't be here. it's time for the human race to get its priorities right and at the top of the list should be our environment not creating jobs and wealth.
what's laughable about all these is that the human race claim to be the most intelligent life on the planet, look around you and the state of the planet, brought about by our behaviour. It's not saying much about our claim that we are an intelligent species is it.
Well let's face the truth, we also say that the health and safety of our children is paramount, so paramount is there safety and welfare that we have over 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, we have baby and food banks popping up everywhere, we allow our females to have children and a full-time job , we allow them to have them at any age any number and bring them into any environment.
So it's obvious isn't it, for if we can't protect our children from being born into poverty, then how on earth are we going to protect our environment from being destroyed.
The answer to that question is in these videos. and in the policy you all cling to so enthusiastically, one of endless growth in people on an island.
It seems the human race will put up with anything as long as it doesn't have to control its numbers.
That's why i said people should vote brexit. I didn't actually vote as i can't be bothered with it all. We need population reduction imo and I couldn't see that happening with freedom of movement. There's too many people and they need to be gone.
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces Then we are alike because I voted brexit, to become an independent country.
and I keep repeating to all the BREXITEER'S the only way you can become an independent country is if you reduce your population down to an acceptable level that this island we live on can naturally support.
because independent means to stand on your own 2 feet to rely on no one for your basic needs to be self-supporting.
the only trade you do with the rest of the world is for non-essential items only.
but we haven't got brexit it is a lie it's time for the BREXITEER'S to wake up to that lie.
you cannot live on an island claiming you wish to be independent but carry on embracing a system of endless growth in people.
it is physically impossible.
it seems there's a lot of people out there that do not understand the basic law of physics which is strange because they practice one particular law every single day of their life.
That is you cannot endlessly put something into something that is not endless.
Those poor people, all that water. 🙁
Sucks, eh!?
almost like tsunami
Yeah it's insane! So much water.
My whole house got flooded and my our power box got destroyed
Shit the bed mate 😱😱
I work around Nelson 📦 and weirdly this week people have been asking if I go to Hebden Bridge
No I don't
Ey up! It's normally very nice! Pop over for a walk sometime then a bit of grub in a cafe.
😱 wow never really realised just how bad it was 😱
It could just as easily have INCREASED a foot and you would be shafted mate.
Just a bit wetter!
Shit is serious ! My heart goes out to anyone who got flooded.
No need to worry, it'll get sorted no problem 😊
Damn I’m sorry for you. Best thing the government could do is buy the propertys and ban any new home being built on flood planes.
Only thing is would they pay us out more than it's worth so we could afford another similar house in the bridge? I say build on flood plains just build the right houses, raised up with s garage underneath.
RideBikes_Walkplaces yes or even that would work especially reducing the damage. Now that would be where it got complicated but maybe that could do it off the value before a certain date or year but then again it would be a pain to find a house in that price margin as most are very expensive so the government have some big issues to overcome. I don’t envy them
@@danielhunter34 I think it would be better to give big grants to flood houses rather than spend millions on flood defences. Say it cost 40, 000,000 for the recent ones and 15, millions for previous defences. Well 1000 homes were flooded. I say give the home's a 55000 grant to tile and render the downstairs, raise electrics and have plastic base units in the kitchen. The defence won't stop a flood like we had this time and in 2015 anyways. If you make it so you just wash out the home's then it doesn't matter how many times it floods.
Omg😢😱
On a good note it's washed the human shit out of the park !
At least you don’t have to clean your car
it got moved otherwise it would have been ruined!
Hello, I am making a documentary and would love to discuss it further with you. Could you send me a message to discuss this further? Thank you, Tyler
GT4 Celica :(
I know! It's a classic
I know! It's a classic
I thought the same 😢
The people who live here won't be insured because they live near a river that floods todmorden, mytholroid bacup and this plAce now.
Why so many thumbs down...
Hope it doesn't happen to them.. Horrible ppl..
So sorry for the ppl suffering flooding. Pls stay safe..
i think they just mean they dislike the flooding.
Come out of it man the sewers rise into it
yeah that is true!
Blummin ek. No sense of danger.
The only bit I thought was dodgy was passing the cars, i soon moved from there. Rest was fine!
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces That's the bit i'm on about.
@@anvilbrunner.2013 yeah, i can see why! If you listen i said, this is dangerous and moved! Shouldn't have gone in front of them regardless.
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces Aye once your feet are swept from under it's hard to gain purchase again. It's down to luck.
@@anvilbrunner.2013 I was more worried about the cars moving and crushing me. The water wasn't that bad to walk in tbh.
Yeah somebody flip the switch mother nature turn it off hey it stopped not the fludding though
Yeah, it was surreal having the sun out with the blue sky but still a ridiculous amount of water flooding down.
Don't drown turn around
What do you mean, buddy?
What I cannot understand is just what has Calderdale done with the monies for flood relief! surely prior to Brexit, the UK would have received money from Europe for flood relief! it seems Calderdale Council has mismanaged the whole sorry saga.
I have no idea on the ins and outs of the council and flood works tbh!
Not long ago I had a dream where I was driving past Morrisons, #Todmorden and suddenly the car was engulfed in flood water ! What would #Freud have made of that ?
The canal needs cleaning out and #Warman need to rig up a system to pump water over the hill! They make pumps big enough ! Has anyone got insurance after all the previous floods? Stay safe
Can you please dream that I'm a millionaire?
That wasn't very smart.
Cheers bud!
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces just be careful, it's not worth it.
@@Cvevas careful isn't in my vocabulary, have a look at some of my other videos 😂
@@RideBikes_Walkplaces just be "mindful" of natural selection.
@@Cvevas i always select nature, best place to be.
*My heart goes out to ALL those who suffered during this Storm..! Can anyone say... ‘Weather-modification/ Geo-Engineering Technology’..??? These storms aren’t happening naturally..!* :PEACE:🕊❤️
Yeah man the bloody government putting chem trails into the sky causing all this rain ten poisoning us with fluoride in the water to stop us realizing the truth. Get ya foil hat out 🤣
RideBikes_Walkplaces I’d laugh at your last comment, if sadly, it wasn’t true..! Don’t be ignorant & your research..!
@@TheNomadBushCrapperIndianChief send us some info please. Link it here 👌
RideBikes_Walkplaces I’m not trying to be a dick with you here, when I say..! What is it about...? “do your own research”... that you don’t understand..? I’m not doing it for you..! It’s taken me 11 years to look at all the facets of a subversive global agenda by a bunch of Socio-Psychopathic Parasitic Paedophile (those who claim to be elite) nut jobs... with a ‘god’ complex thrown in for good measure..! If you genuinely want to know. Then look for your self... as I had to do..! It’s the only way to learn..! Start here on ‘UA-cam’... with a search for the terms I mentioned in my first comment. You maybe surprised at what you may find out..! :PEACE:🕊❤️
Something does not match here............................
What do you mean?
wtf
Indeed.
There all stoned up there , they won't notice it anyway
lol, yeah there's quite a few hippies about these days.
So sorry to see this mate BUT on a lighter note, there's irony in the "FOR SALE" sign in the near background. Agent's name is "REEDS RAIN"!
