Radio Sheffield 11 minutes past 7 I'm Karyn I hope you all well I fear there are lots of you who are not well and having a pretty awful time of it because of the floods we're going to be talking about that over the morning particularly focusing on what's been happening in parts of don't cast are actually going to turn our attention to fish like very very shortly we're going to be talking about other things over the course of the show of course it's Remembrance Sunday we're going to hear about a field of remembrance set up by scales St Peter's Church in warms worth also Reverend Kevin Ball he's chap into the real British Legion will be delivering our 62nd serve in this morning and it's 25 years is that makes me feel pretty old Actually since the Vicar of Dibley was 1st shown on t.v. We're going to ask what impact the populistic com has had on our perception of women priests but let's turn to fish like it's been a tense night for people living in their. Small village near don't cast a residents have been way saying I've been at sea with the river Don would throw them rising floodwaters over the last few days that around 700 people being encouraged to leave their properties for their own safety environment agency says it remains concerned about high water levels in the river I have seen images of a fish and it is really. Unbelievable let me talk now to Peter pride him he's the churchwarden with fish lake in Sindh Cuthbert's Peter Where are you and what's it like where you are where I am isn't would like Fortunately this line of. We've had floods. Coming down the road so far but it hasn't reached all hazards here yet. The river he's dropping. Isn't good God's goodness and mercy there's no one has lost their life but the village is devastated many parts of the village will be under at least a meter meter and a half of water and the damage to people's property is going to be very very substantial indeed the danger still exists in that the large amount of water from Sheffield and roll them on the east pennants works of bands has still got to come down and come through the tide is going out at the moment so the river level is fortunate dropping sort of give you some idea the river here is normally between 2 and 3 meters deep it's been up to 6.88487 meters 6.87 meters It's now dropped about 10 inches 250 millimeters and of hopefully should drop a bit further this morning the great the good thing is that the no the banks have not burst there's been overtopping of the banks but no banks have burst it's a banks have that would have been utterly catastrophic. Fortunately hasn't happened so now what we're exceeding is the existing drainage systems which are still really trying to cope with something that they were never designed for a slowly start to try and train the village and the very desperately needs not just food and food and clothing for those it is in serious trouble who can start it and have not been able to get out they also need pumps lots of pumps. Portable pumps and supplies the days of the run to pump the water from where it's lying into the into the drainage system regulate taken away a lot of it down but it's a very it's a wonderful thing with us we can see in God's goodness nobody has lost their lives and Peter it's wonderful that you are able to say it's have that's a positive spin on things but I mean I look at those fights and it just people described is as biblical 8 it's really frightening and most of us sat head this morning will have never experienced anything like it would have never been told You have to get out of you'll have you have to get out of your home it's it's not safe and I just wonder. The people about the people that you've been speaking to has been even worse affected his homes have been flooded what they've been telling you about the impact of the all of this on them well many of them are very desperate very distressed Sullivan said very seriously so a lot of the a number of older people were evacuated early those that are left those are left now just looking to see what they can do to pick up the wreckage so Catholic Church was kept open throughout that remain dry and so people have a point of refuge in the local pub the Hare and Hounds has also been open continuously over the last 48 hours for people that somewhat ago people themselves begin today to look in the the flood waters and a fantastic job in in appalling circumstances they lady of the of the flood water system currently trying to contend with 2 feet of water in this house and the failed land line. Fortunately for some electricity is kept on other places it hasn't there's a great danger from manholes under the under the sun in the flooded areas lifting off people falling down them so people aren't very careful before they wade through people are in very brave model gentlemen I came across were able to stop it getting into his house at that point but he is very brave and didn't want to leave subsequently had to be evacuated so said earlier it's a great mercy that never has lost their lives but now they have trouble but trouble started trying to clear the place up now and it will take at least I think 3 to 4 maybe even 5 days for the water to be pumped out 1st to love the waters here this is a this is a different situation actually to what we've seen elsewhere where the water came in quite quickly and in not the places then left departed quite quickly where is your thank days and days go your way if it if it helps the listeners to understand what happened to the river Don. Just north of the Stanford Bridge has an area of walling which allows it to spill over overtopping is the term used into adjacent farmland is planned to do so and that's what happened but it never nobody ever thought that it would continue for days and evaded and what happened was the farmland that was allocated to catch that overtopping was filled up and when it filled up it spilled it like moving like straight down into the village so it's not an area it's not in the normal level of drainage as having been to taken many many millions of cubic metres of water are going to be pumped out that's why I said that there's a real call for emergency pumps to be poured into this area and to be applied very quickly in the council needs to work with the Environment Agency to permit that to happen and these have to have you had enough support say fall even needs talked about the people officiate really coming together in and doing the absolute best in the worst of all circumstances but have you had enough support from the council counselling from the other with Ortiz Mala cancelled the Council of Armed age or done what they could do what they had available but when you have 4 or 5 feet of water on the road it's very difficult for any kind of vehicle even the most adventurous young chap some big tractors had to back off from some of the areas because it just simply was not possible to go that So I think the council and the Environment Agency have done a good job with what they could but the circumstances of been beyond the pale it's nobody anticipated something of this this this this degree and nobody is been very sure exactly how they get even get here because the only the final vote that was accessible was not accessible for part of yesterday so it's a very difficult situation and I think the his heart is could always do more that's always the case but I think that I'm very well in this situation and I would judge that by the fact that nobody's lost their lives because of the heck ounce of what accounts was able to do and then farmers agency was able to do ensured that nobody . The lives could have been very different and beaten and now the focus needs to be on these pumps that you really need so anyone listening who has access to those kinds of things you would urge them to help exactly it needs pumps if need be bring them in by helicopter whatever means necessary to actually remove this huge amount of water that's now lying in an area which has been flooded in the Times of Charles of Morton's drainage system Peter thank you so much for talking to me Stay safe pizza pretty him the fish like resin and churchwarden goodness me it sounds absolutely terrible we've sense. Which is to get as close as he can but it sounds like it's going to be very difficult for him in days and it does sound like it is a very specific situation either in fish like to keep listening to be ready Sheffield's We'll keep you up to date with what is happening there and of course. Across the region because these floods have affected lots of places in slightly different ways it is 20 minutes past 7. Radiation fields 23 minutes past 7 and let's return to the fish that we just heard that from the churchwarden fish that is his village to where hundreds of people have been encouraged to leave their properties if you seen the pictures the aerial footage does look like an event. That will be that's the word people using. Normally. The water levels at the river levels there outside between 10000 meters it's at its peak it was 6.87 meters and it is specifically very very hard for them to clear the water there and let's go to Senegal reporter which is Katie Richard. How close have you managed to get to it because from what we hearing it is incredibly bad there's still absolutely yeah I'm actually in stay for this morning cat this is as close as I managed to get so far and there are this police tape and a police car blocking the road bridge hill here which takes you directly into fish lake and it's about 2 miles from here but there's no way you're going to get to officially from this particular direction the road is completely closed over the bridges here there's a canal which runs parallel with the river done and the police have just told me that when they arrived here a few hours ago the water was hitting the bridge so it was so high the level of the water was so high it was actually hitting the bridge it has dropped they say in the last 2 hours by about a foot and a half maybe 2 feet which is encouraging news but the houses just beyond that bridge are flooded and some of the houses have been evacuated and some of them the residents are still occupying those homes I spoke to a lady who was walking her dog earlier this morning here is staying for thing and she said that yesterday the people here were. Bringing in food to the local pub and it was being collected and then taken via tractors over to the residence of fish lake but the bridge became so unsafe that not even tractors were allowed access as a certain point yesterday so people are trying to help people in fish like in the thoughts are with them certainly but it looks like it's going to be a while yet at least before they're going to have any access in and out of the village. You've been covering this now for 3 days Richard and I'm just wondering. How this event has struck you because I'm just I'm struck by the fact that it's obviously affecting different places in quite different ways depending on the geography. But I'm. It's also just reminds us of how can. You know however we advanced we feel we are. Good all technology is and however much kit we have we got a situation. When I was talking to the Churchwarden. Fishlike saying that actually even even the or thirty's there struggling to deal with the level of water there. Absolutely I think it I think it brings it home to us just how vulnerable we are to go to extreme weather conditions and we all live in you know on our daily lives we're also busy we're just trying to to get by and do what we need to do for ourselves and our families and we just take the weather for granted as particularly in this country which we you know work were kind of used to inclement weather here really but nevertheless when things do become a little bit when they exceed the norms then you know our normal day to day lives suddenly get turned completely upside down and that's certainly been the case for the people that I've been speaking to since Friday when I was in Bentley in Doncaster for example and yesterday you know seeing some of the people at the rest center that they had been set up at the Salvation Army church in Doncaster near the dome and a lot of the people that come in to the rest center yesterday had been brought and rescued out of their homes from Fish Lake about 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning there were just completely traumatized by the whole think you know and I think to you know the extreme. Rainfall that we've had has been the drop in temperature over the last 2 days is absolutely freezing here you know so that's not saying that we shouldn't be expecting that kind of weather in November of course we should but it compounds the situation when we've had the amount of rainfall that we have had and we've had the amount of extreme flooding that we've experienced it just makes life a little bit more difficult a little bit more miserable for the people who are suffering thank you reached out for us at same for Firth that says cases you can get fish like the mom made a big piece called and stopping Anyway anyone getting t.t.s. Because it just isn't safe still under a large amount of water in fish like that which will be out there for us for the rest the morning that this is Kate was thinking she's one of the best known contemporary folks in this in Britain.
