The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for York – after today’s torrential showers created problems across the city.
This was the alert, issued at 5.52pm on Monday (August 13):
The current level of Burdyke is 3.0m and rising. The wider River Ouse flood alert area may be affected by surface water issues, however river levels remain low.
Meanwhile the storms saw flash floods on many roads in the city.
Water Lane in Clifton lived up to its name and was blocked. Vehicles had to drive through inches of water along the Leeman Road tunnel.
Flash floods also hit Haxby and Wigginton. Here’s how you captured the storm and its aftermath…
