Storm Babet - River Don/River Loxely In Flood (2023)

- Here are a few locations on the River Don/River Loxely in Flood after continuous overnight rain from Storm Babet.
As of uploading the rain is getting better and levels are slowly dropping.
Luckily most of Upper and Middle Don Valley have been unaffected by the Storm but many levels were close to bursting and some small brooks have burst their banks.
River Porter has completely flooded Endcliffe Park & Cafe leaving it to be a muddy mess.
Many places in Bradfield have been struggling with surface water rising out of the ground and flooding buildings and houses.
Northern General had surface water spurting out of the floor (possibly from the Bagley Dike)

Stay safe Maestro. Wonder about the reservoirs too, they must be full.
hopefully tomorrow morning were gonna check out a reservoir so ill make a video if so!
Wow, incredible and the power on that water. great pics thanks to the Maestro in the moment 👍
Well done for getting out and about today for sure!
A good honest report with no 'hyp'. Thankyou
Thank you for bringing us this very impressive video presentation which is very much appreciated. The power of the rivers are phenomenal, you can see why these rivers had so many mills beside them. It's funny that despite all the talk of using renewable energy that more use is not made of these rivers.
great footage!! thank you TDM!
Exciting, nothing like a UK storm 😘
One of the very few things that scares me is the un-bridled power of water when rivers flood. I used to live in a village in Suffolk that had a river flowing through it. The river flooded and the flow rate was such that it eroded the bank under a 100+ year old workshop resulting in the whole building collapsing and being swept away. Scary stuff.
Excellent, informative video. Being a local bloke I recognise all of these spots.
Thats a lot of rain, any more and it'll be over the sides. I'm wondering how the culverts are doing, no don't go and have a look!!
Have a great weekend!!
They'll be absolutely full.
I live in Brighouse in W.Yorks and our local river the Calder has flooded the town centre bad news , thanks Marcus for the reactive video
Whoa! That is intense!! 😯
The power of the water really impressive and worrisome !
Great video again, your really good at that! Congrats !
In my city (Aberdeen) up here in Scotland, we have a river called "River Don" and also "River Dee". So you can imagine my confusion when you were showing and talking about the "River Don" but I wasn't recognizing where on (my) river Don this was plus the street/town names and the river Loxely. I'm sitting here like _"EH!! ..Where the fuq along the Don is this"_ while scratching my head. Then I was like _"Hol'up! His accent.. Is there another river Don in England?"_ and here I am.. LOL 😂🤣😂 *DOH!* 🤪
The river Rother (which you may be familiar with) was really bad with flooding over last weekend that it completely engulfed Catcliffe once again. Went down on Monday after the water had gone down and the smell of the mud was absolutely revolting. There was a smell of sewage and damp, and the water rose so high (about 7 foot) that all the cars that were parked up were completely submerged and the interiors wrecked. Some guy was offering to deep clean peoples cars after the floods and I just said that it would be a complete waste of time whether they are written off or not, as you’d never get rid of the sewage smell out of the seats and carpets etc , let alone all the bacteria / viruses that it carries.
That is insane. Down here in Devon we luckily missed most of the storm, otherwise i would have been out looking at how the rivers on Exmoor are doing, especially in places like Lynmouth. I just find it amazing that clouds can hold so much water.
5:11 If that tree moves, it could get stuck under the bridge and then the force of the water could wash away the bridge.
👍
i was hoping you'd head up towards the source see how bad the overspill was at loxley reservoir but you barely go past where the don joins loxley
well with the rain planned to get worse it wasnt our first thought
Why don't they put water turbines in some of these places and store some energy? At least it could power some street lights or something like that!
things like this would badly damage a water turbine, very good for normal levels but high levels are not so good 😢
I've seen an Archimedean screw turbine in that area (Loxley or Rivelin valley, not sure); nice throwback to ancient engineering; I wonder if it's OK.
@@davidhowe6905 hi i know which youre talking about in the loxley valley
last time i saw it it was switched off
so not sure whether that was in preparation for the storm or because its not in use anymore
@@thedrainmaestro last time i visited the area they had just finished renovating the weir in lower loxley & the turbine wasnt working then
Axl Rose
🤨😂
@@thedrainmaestro That's a compliment son Axl was the man back in the day
@@sqwidink1 hahaha i figured it was! yeah hes awesome lol i see the resemblance!
weather manipulation side effects. knock on affect of cloud seeding and more.
Why don't they dredge these rivers and use stone , sand and aggregate they derive for construction . This would increase the water carrying capacity of the rivers , reducing flooding and reduce the above sand and gravel needed to be taken from the sea as in the sea it helps to slow the power of waves and if left in the sea it would help to reduce coastal erosion of the UK . Of course they won't do it as they won't even clear out road drainage gulleys . All these forms of neglect in maintenance help exaggerate so-called effects of manmade global warming . In the golden olden days maintenance as mentioned above was done properly .
