Omg my ❤️goes out to all the people In Pontypridd. Also people all over the rest of Wales who are suffering in South Wales I am English but spent 30 years living and working in Pontypridd and other parts of Wales. My prayers are with you all today. I’m so sad for you all 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
I`m totally out of touch with what's going on i mean i live a few miles away from Ponty and knew it had been raining all day but not that it was this bad...
My dad lives right next to the river in ponty. He has major anxiety levels watching the water levels go up and down all day in case he has to move his belongings upstairs.
@Handlethetruth666 businesses coming up to Christmas with no trade. It takes months to dry and repair after a flood. Also because in Wales it's going to be raining, snowing and cold for the next 3 months at least, so buildings dry out even slower, so everyone displaced out of a flooded house is probably going to be in temporary housing for even longer.
I personally would blame the lack of maintenance of rivers and drains. We have experienced large volumes of rain in Wales over the years and never experienced floods like this. Councils just do not maintain, there are blocked drains everywhere. The EU has a lot to do with causing flooding not just global weather.
What has the EU to do with post Brexit Britain? If anything the EU set water quality standards and provided cheap access to chemicals used in sewerage treatment via the Single Market so I blame brexiteers and Reform UK voters for the deterioration of our standards & quality of life.
The eu has a lot to do with it the uk has removed 29 dams and barriers as per eu rules Spain has removed nearly 300 the reason for floods in valencia . Also dredging rivers restricted because of fish stocks
I agree we have street road drains bunged up with leaves no wonder the streets are flooded or have large pools of standing water car drivers are really bad I walk a lot and can't tell you how many times I get drenched by drivers speeding through large puddles
On top of all the lack of maintenance on drains , rivers etc , it would also have nothing to do with the extra 20 million that we have to many and all the extra houses etc would it ?
My house got flooded 3 days before Christmas so I really feel such sadness for all the people and pets who are affected. I have family in Wales and pray they’re alright. Watching helplessly while dirty water comes up through your floorboards and keeps rising is terrifying
The flooding rather begs the question of if you build new homes and towns etc in these areas, there will be catastrophic flooding and people wont be able to insure their homes. Not just wales, anywhere in the UK.

It may do. That’s not the case at Pontypridd though. I’m not sure that all this footage is current either as I didn’t think there was flooding in Taff Street this time, however, it’s shown as flooded in the video.

Climate change is not rubbish, have you not seen the flooding all over Europe this past 6 weeks. Increased numbers & stronger hurricanes in the USA. Why do you call it rubbish? Are you in denial & scared of the facts or making money off it somehow? What evidence have you that Pontpridds council are to blame for this flooding? I've not heard about that or is it a common answer for the deniers to use?
They should start dredging the rivers again and tell the naysayers they will turn the rivers Into canals. The Germans turned the Rhyne into a canal so they now dredge it. I am 81 next month and can remember watching the dredgers going up and down, large buckets putting tons of black silt on farmers fields, it is the best soil for growing crops and best of all we never had flooding it's time we started doing what is best for us.
This is by no means the first time Ponty has flooded, yet nothing has been done, see this river ( Taff) flows over pebble and stone, but yes dredging is one option. The other is of course to build water defences along the coarse if the river.
the taff can't be dredged, at least not in the valleys, closer to Caerdydd it could but wouldn't help in ponty. It's all layers of solid bedrock with thin layer of pebbles on top. You would need to drain the river and use explosives if you want to go deeper.
its because they have a population reduction agenda and because they want everybody to drive convertible electric cars.in the rain with the top down because ellen mugs the millionaire industrual AI genius now owns the govt and mars. he wants the moon also but thats owned by ronald macdonald thrump who's hanging onto it cause he knows its value as a spaceport for ET visitors
How devastating for people's homes, businesses's, cars and other things that have been damaged. I am so lucky to live in an area that is mostly protected from storms.
The American AI commentators pronunciation skills are just ridiculous to the extreme…. 😂😂😂 Having said that, I do feel for all those people affected by the weather. I hope no lives are lost.
This is devastating for the local community yet again. This happened several years ago before the covid pandemic. Yet what did this Labour government do to try and prevent this happening again. Nothing. What did the Labour run council do to do to try and prevent this happening again. Nothing. They blame climate change. They should cough up and compensate for everyone that has been affected by this and pay to replace every item that affected all people. As for the comment about housing by rivers. These houses have been there 100 years or more. The problem is the Labour run government and Councils. They do nothing. I feel sorry for all affected as I myself have had my home flooded 30 years ago.
You said this happened before covid, now happening again, but no, climate change has nothing to do with it. This should be a 1 in 100 year at best, and yet here we are. Climate change is real.
You're right, the whole of Taff street was under water, shops and homes flooded , the parc and lido was ruined, and still inadequate flood defences have been made since then. Also seems to be a lack of proper maintenance of the drainage systems too. The council still managed to find enough dosh to host the Eisteddfod mind..... 1 day of heavy rain should not cause this much devastation, its not like this hasnt happened before. One very irate ponty resisdent!
The tories were in power for the last fourteen years and they ran down pretty much of all our services and sold off the water companies. But of course it's the Labour parties fault as usual. You obviously read the right wing papers.
@jamtransmission9677 This year, we have had more than our normal share of rain, and it all has to go somewhere. Today the roads into town were a mess of debris and surface water. The council, or anyone who should, don't clear drains and ditches yet seem to believe 20 MPH is the way forward. That little stunt has cost us, not the Welsh Assembly, millions. Tuesday morning we woke up to 4 inches of snow (I measured it), the melt water and this recent hours of downpour had to go somewhere.

Clearing gullies which councils don’t do anymore, we have this in Devon. I’m surprised at the number of flooded vehicles though, when warnings were issued so these could have been moved to higher grounds in plenty of time.

Anyone who lives in a valley or floodplain needs to be looking to re-locate with these new weather patterns. Must be devastating to be in areas where this a yearly threat.
During exceptional heavy rain, this has occurred many times in the past, so it shouldn't come as any surprise to see it still does happen from time to time. Those who decide to buy properties close to rivers have to accept there is this flood risk, or move elsewhere. We hope it all subsides quickly.
Maybe fools are building houses in stupid places but we've also got old cottages flooding now, & heavier annual rainfall as shown by Met Office records. Whatever your political affiliation, sensible thinking on climate change should be free from politics, countries the world over are accepting of the fact that our weather patterns are in flux. Don't have to be an "alarmist" to see the plain truth. This past month several historic European capitals have flooded to record levels as has Andalucia in Spain & the Southern Italian island of Sicily but am i just being "alarmist" or are you denying facts?

omg my auntie just got moved in after the last floods we had in porth, finally got new stuff and again she got flooded destroyed all again poor soul so gutted for her she got 3 little dogs and two budgies. terrible they said thid wouldnt happen again.
It's been terrible for the ones that have been flooded around here I feel for them, i'm lucky as living at the top of the valley and the river is well below me.
I saw a road sweeper round my place weeks ago. He was cleaning around the parked cars but did not clean any of the road gullies with the suction pipe! WHY? Because only himself doing the job and cleaning gullies is a two man job. So the Council by trying to cut costs are also cutting the effectiveness of the road gullies. Hence, a probable likelihood of flooding.
Terrible footage of south Wales floods - poor souls - but it's a long time since I've heard anyone murder the pronunciation of place names quite that badly...
Definitely something to do with increased rainfall & call it whatever you want or don't want to, but increasing numbers of flood incidents for sure over Europe & North America.
Nothing to with Carbon emissions, might be something to do with cloud seeding or some other government meddling. Hope to God Trump takes office him and Musk will sort it, there is so much s88t to be uncovered the evil ones must be desperate.
Why are ppl scared to face facts? All the flooding in Europe the past 6 wks from Poland to Sicily and Valencia to Bulgaria. The massive floods in the USA in places like Carolina & Florida but it's the infrastructure in all these problems then + absolutely nothing to do with World wide weather patterns altering? A shame cos soon what with the ground being ever increasingly saturated, Climate change denying Ostriches will drown when they bury their heads!! All the best & invest in a boat cos your local infrastructure might fail?
They always build next to rivers and what do you expect. In summer tiny little water flows and houses on rivers banks. So here we are, and they say climate problems. Don’t build next to rivers, but no .
I feel for those living near rivers and the sea. I live in the Charnwood Forest which does not have floods, unless a pipe bursts. Live higher up but many houses are being built on flood plains now due to government targets. Cannot pronounce Pontypridd ? Shameful!, I am a quarter Welsh

WTF is going on in UK and Europe with all this flooding? Seems like it’s everywhere. Glad I only get hurricanes here in FLA USA. Stay safe, my friends 🙏 🇺🇸 🏴
Knowing the storm was coming and their council taxes have been squandered for years on anything but maintenance they park by the river. Priceless.
Sending love and support from Virginia, usa
omg my auntie just got moved in after the last floods we had in porth, finally got new stuff and again she got flooded destroyed all again poor soul so gutted for her she got 3 little dogs and two budgies. terrible they said thid wouldnt happen again.
Writing from Pontypridd right now, it’s actually worse than the video.
how many country's are helping the UK in this time of need maybe none
How can the UK spend money on much needed infrastructure, when we spend billions on wars, and housing asylum seekers. 💴💵💶
We need to teach ai how to pronounce Welsh names. I can't understand a word he is saying lol and I live in the valleys !
The pronunciation of the places lol Rhondda sinnon taff no its cuh sound
Ponty-Prid!
Our language is so awesome
It’s like the th in the.
Pronounced caerphilly as carefully😂
It’s AI commentary - not a real person.
@@ElderithErestorMallisterThonty Thrid eh still sounds odd !
How the pronunciation will help?
Could you just imagine if climate change was real.
It's been terrible for the ones that have been flooded around here I feel for them, i'm lucky as living at the top of the valley and the river is well below me.
Have the courteousy to learn the Welsh names before you butcher them. Oh! I forgot, you are from the USA, you think your always right.
It is AI that is doing the commetary, what else can you expect from an American " computer "🤪😜🤣
I hope wales recovers quickly all the best to the people affected
Very romatic living,,Dawn by the riverside,,.....Taff....😮 re think.....give water more space
😢😢😢 omg. So sad MY ❤ goes to. All 🙏🙏🙏🙏
힘내세요 ㅜ.ㅜ pray for Wales.
God Bless all those affected, Lord have Mercy!
BAR ?? Berw phonetically Beeroow Road. but the street is Seion Street
Thoughts and prayers to all best wishes
I saw a road sweeper round my place weeks ago. He was cleaning around the parked cars but did not clean any of the road gullies with the suction pipe! WHY? Because only himself doing the job and cleaning gullies is a two man job. So the Council by trying to cut costs are also cutting the effectiveness of the road gullies. Hence, a probable likelihood of flooding.
Loving your pronunciation of welsh towns
Terrible footage of south Wales floods - poor souls - but it's a long time since I've heard anyone murder the pronunciation of place names quite that badly...
After everything that has happened elsewhere, one has to ask....what is underground their, that's worth big money ?
I hope everyone managed to stay safe love and respect from sxx bravo Juliett
My Heart ❤goes out to the families and businesses God bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Proof that THIS is how Walls should be Built and not knocked down in favour of new ones.
My heart aches for anyone affected, stay safe everyone
Heart goes to Pontypridd, 😊again!
People of wales stay safe!🙏🙏🙏
This has nothing to do with global warming/climate change.
@suzyhorrigan1544 Hello to you. I'm very interested in your comment, please elaborate ( just asking/saying )
Anyway, Peace to all.
You're right because its all BS, just their trojan horse for their 2030 agenda
Definitely something to do with increased rainfall & call it whatever you want or don't want to, but increasing numbers of flood incidents for sure over Europe & North America.
The Americans that struggle with English is so laughing stock.
I'm British & struggle with anything but English & even then i wouldn't win Countdown!!
Oh my God...that's a horrific flood...
Feel so sorry to see this the poor people there must be so upset hope they are ok .😍😍
Oh my goodness I did not know Wales was flooded. And the Philippines are on fire 😢
Neither did I and I live here.
Same as in Spain.
The infrastructure is not maintained.
The blame is on those in charge, rather than Global Warming.
Nothing to with Carbon emissions, might be something to do with cloud seeding or some other government meddling. Hope to God Trump takes office him and Musk will sort it, there is so much s88t to be uncovered the evil ones must be desperate.
Why are ppl scared to face facts? All the flooding in Europe the past 6 wks from Poland to Sicily and Valencia to Bulgaria. The massive floods in the USA in places like Carolina & Florida but it's the infrastructure in all these problems then + absolutely nothing to do with World wide weather patterns altering? A shame cos soon what with the ground being ever increasingly saturated, Climate change denying Ostriches will drown when they bury their heads!! All the best & invest in a boat cos your local infrastructure might fail?
This is where I grew up, live in South Australia now. Sad to see the devastation.
Stay safe ❤
Not nature its weather modification
Seen the sky this week it had more lines than tartan set
This is man made catastrophic with the HAARP technology This is sickening
Weather warfare done on purpose. They want us all broken .
@@kiriakosstoupakis338 NERC/MST facility , Capel Dewi, Wales... ?
I love how many thumbs up the weather modification comments are getting.. keep at it people ;')
They always build next to rivers and what do you expect. In summer tiny little water flows and houses on rivers banks. So here we are, and they say climate problems. Don’t build next to rivers, but no .
Omg! hope everyone is okay 😮
I'll be saying prayers for you and lighting a candle for all of you. God bless!
Very similar to flooding a few years ago. What happened about the flood defences.
These poor people. I hope everyone is safe and accounted for.
Take care Wales 😢
Council not dredging the rivers
Friday morning was fine blue, sunny skies.. then the planes flew across leaving chemtrails followed by clouds and rain.
in your head, yes.
@@laurenceverfaillie you should do stand up comedy(not)
Absolutely true!
@@illusionisover8584 obviously would be anywhere as good as you.
Stay safe everyone.
Oh no hope everyone is ok.
Has this happened before? God bless you all.
I feel for those living near rivers and the sea. I live in the Charnwood Forest which does not have floods, unless a pipe bursts. Live higher up but many houses are being built on flood plains now due to government targets. Cannot pronounce Pontypridd ? Shameful!, I am a quarter Welsh
They will blam3 the climate, not tne fact peaple are building on flood plains and maintence is at best poor on drains and rivers
As it was in the days of Noah. Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼❤️🕊Repent, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Green Witch time.....Wicked 😀
Sorry guys, hope you're all safe and warm somewhere.
I wonder if Dwr Cymru will put their prices up!
Just awful. My heart to all
swanza, trial , brigind , carmanthishire,winead,😅😅 not even Ai can get it right
This is so sad to see I would be tearing my hair out dealing with this.This looks to me rivers overflowing not drains.
