Flooding strikes and many parts cut off as heavy rain returns in Grimsby, UK

Parts of Grimsby are heavily flooded and some are even cut off as heavy rain and thunder storms continue to batter North East East Lincolnshire.

Homes are flooded and businesses on Cromwell Road have had to close as they face flooded shops and offices for the the second time in three weeks.

The roads are chaos – Ellis Way and Cromwell Road are closed off and it understood the council’s Doughty Road depot is cut off by several feet of water – preventing vehicles from getting out to help.

Other roads affected include Victoria Street, Louth Road, and the Laceby Bypass.

Police are in attendance on the Willows estate, which has also reportedly been cut off.

Meanwhile, the second day of he 1940s event in Cleethorpes and the East Halton Show have been cancelled.

 

Further heavy rain may be on the way to North East Lincolnshire this evening after a day of torrential downpours which has caused flooding in parts of the borough.

Though the worst of the wet weather is over, the Met Office has this afternoon issued a severe weather warning for the region as the remains of Hurricane Bertha continue to move over the UK.

In addition to the possibility of more showers, winds are expected to strengthen overnight which could bring gusts of 50-60mph in coastal areas.

Blustery conditions are forecast to remain into Monday morning with more showers possible in the afternoon.

 

Humberside Fire and Rescue have been inundated with calls and are said to be “very busy” at the moment, with many engines responding to calls in the Grimsby area.

Emma Cooper, 25, of Welholme Road, said: “Our street is like a river, there’s water everywhere; it’s coming out of the drains.

“I rang 101 and they said they’re going to be closing the road off – it’s looks like we’re going to get flooded.”

Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
