road closures due to floods , must be a record

[NorthernRaider]

Just driven across the south Durham inland sea (as I type the cops are saying the worst is yet to come) Picking son up from school and driving home the usual back road saw me doing 10 MPH through two foot of floodwater for a distance of three miles, only the top of the hedgerow to guide me.

A1 and A1M 40 miles of traffic jams, they have now cut the armco down to let traffic do a U turn.
