Slightly different to this because it's all about the wall in the dam but we got some really bad flooding and pretty much the whole a state where my house was was evacuated and it turned people's lives upside down yeah because once your house is contaminated with this water you have to replaster you have to throw any items like your so for there's been touched by the water it's all contaminated Wow everything's got locked out you know strangely on this I mean it's a huge housing estate where I used to have a house. My house and I think one of the only 2 houses on this housing estate which wasn't touched by the contaminated water I was so lucky was amazing. But we are going to speak to one of the people who had to leave their home I'm just thinking this morning what do you grab in that situation so you know I mean you've got minutes to get out of the House what's the what's the what's the backpack what you put in your backpack the few items that you take with you. Have a little think about that give us a call I want double O. Double 956 and also this is a little bit of fun this morning yes Boris Johnson is going to order the countdown clock for his office at number 10 so he knows exactly how long is until the breaks it deadline I love this yet so in honor of the prime minister's new bit of deco we're going to play countdown in about half an hour's time this morning I know Tony's to play a very similar game on the show yes and we can't play the exact. Breaks to tell you what we call it counter can't. Be any confusion and also after 10 this morning I'm going to face my biggest fear I'm not going to surprise a surprise just yet let me just let me just read off just be look at the risk assessment which had to be done so I could face my biggest fear. That will be 1st aiders on site if for quiet Yes that's all I'm going to syphon Are you find out more just after 10 this morning baby C W N. Such. As subsets thank you love this is folksy infertility is baby C.W. And 95.6. How much he watches have been taking place to try to shore up reservoir and Darbyshire which threatens to engulf a town heavy rain caused war which is holding back a reservoir to collapse but in the town of Wylie bridge at risk more than 6000 people were moved from their homes and Katherine Harris and lives in Wylie bridge she's one of the residents and is currently staying at her sister's home morning Catherine now and. I'm very well. Well the blue skies of Pitts is up a bit this morning considering you know we had more rain yesterday which was just like a horrible fight on to the last thing we wanted so our back every time we saw I mean the showers have been very sharp the last few days every time you sort start to run you must of just feed more when I'm on a tremendous main but we've just never ever thing I said I want this here you know lift to feel like 20 is their endless how far Katherine is your house from from this dam. It's about well it's a 2 minute walks basically to the dam through the park where we are on the edge of the park near the side of the river but the river separates the park from our house and the damage just beyond that and it's like saying on the news that the water rushing down the time and the park area where the play equipment is yeah that's that's the park is certainly a small part how long have you lived there while you Bridgman Catherine about 20 is now right I haven't come from far away anyway so I would say I'm local So I mean when you bought the house was was was the term ever known as a risk has anything like this ever happened before no no never never and. The whole area has been floated so I really think that it's just the quantity of rain and I'm I'm at the moment not blaming anybody for the you know about management or anything because all our surroundings have been completely floated and enough nothing to do with the rest of the last part of it was just coming down the river you know there the park was flooded the day before yesterday and that's never been floated the river was right to the. Bridge level and again we've never seen it all comes down from the going family as well so it's not just faded into this reservoir here you know I think it's just been quantities of the rain how do you feel when you say. Car for. Sale optimistic it's not going to Paris you know. All happy that if it goes down that will be my house that it will. You know hit so I don't think it will I think we'll sort of count which need helicopters been coming and going for. 4 hours now so I think I think we will be saved Well fingers crossed fingers crossed she said helicopters that bring them about me every Yeah it's a chain you just want it's certain for interim but I cannot spin on the news you can see say it happened in. The house the house I'm staying not literally we've got a great view of it to swear off Palm higher ground but right next to the reservoir so was the helicopter during his it's bringing back sort of. You know some it's not concrete but you know the hard core stuff it it's the big bulky packs It's carrying the I think the one time backs. Taken the most how long to which isn't far away because the car is nearby it's closer to option. It's taken them and dropped in them on the wall busy dropping them down you know building up the wall basically nothing to. You know give it some backbone and then they're going to drain well the trying to drain the water Well they're trying to dry in the reservoir at the same time yeah yeah I mean it's just fun taking ages Yeah about minus a huge amount of water that you can read over the web is that when I drain the water was the water going well there is a river down below but basically it's going it's about. Which is the river going to them and I'll just get carried I'm not sure if to take you now put in anywhere else bar I don't know where where else it can be just to the river below what was the 1st that you heard about this this actually happening Well the the water was absolutely pouring over the day before yesterday I've never seen it was like you know if you say referred water rushed in that's how that's how a lot all down the dam wall. And then I went to it yesterday morning as normal and my I just got a what's up from a family member saying saying part of the wall was actually caved in. My daughter was home so basically a phone Turner said right you need to get out of the house and. Go to my sister's which is literally just up the road but that was that was the 1st warning yesterday morning it must feel all very surreal. I don't think those who just never think this in a 1000000 is it would happen you know like crazy crazy you just see them collapse as you know in South America recently Thank you for never thinking which often from around here they have been talking just now you know are your optimism I really do our daughter I think you're a glass are 4 words I'm very different to you Catherine often are Republican but I admire the So So when you when you were advised to leave How quickly did you have to get out of the house. Well we went to times to leave 11 O'Clock Show the show the main roads through the village which were on the main road so. I was just I think because we are in and if it did collapse with no notice then our house which been anything goes to water. So I just wanted to get much of just tossed around so I told her to put the car in the parks and just go to justice just so then I was sitting that were thinking I Michael's this is this is on REAL. Metal sales so I decided to come combat Whaley Bridge because you know just to be here. Doubts about who was tough to former hair and another friend mother friend to life last month while. We're here and we. Got to you know so on social media the you know the Facebook the way leverage. And pay was put in effort to nominal all the people around us on social media so than a quarter past 2 they said they were evacuating so we even though I was going to have to after hence if we will down to the house and just went and grabbed the. The slack to hold back you know toothbrush clothes footwear for today. Top looks that has been ages and and then the we have to know the car so we drove it out you know just because well I was going to ask him and I was glad to hear that you grabbed the cat I was going to ask Well said he you know grab because I was always asking the question just after the news and Nona mean if we were put in that situation what were the 1st things that you were trying to get I mean what else did yeah well I had my laptop with me because that's the important thing but my daughter she she put back in her pack when she left and and the one thing at that sign it sounds silly and just like a tough sport because we all just go on holiday and some Thank you so so it's all possible both very wins that say nothing can do You can't go anywhere without those there anyway so so we've got the past are you still going to go on hold on Sunday I don't know because. Again not all can I So no suitcase so I just don't know there's a potential to postpone it which I've been just thinking about this morning I mean we could change the flights as much just about accommodation becoming a pretty extreme not at all busy he said yeah. And you say you're sisters now so I mean yeah we stay in there if you don't yeah yeah with where yes we will cause we've got we've got that's and rooms yes yes you can stay here definitely Well look you know I really appreciate you coming on the show this morning because of course it's almost front page the papers it's on it's on the national news it's a big story in this country right now and what the things like in the town is other emergency services almost. Literally not to was one of the primary schools amends to the for the football failed that's where the you know we've got all sorts of things and as you know the fire fire engines count as well. I mean. Just lots of people in green jackets work in around you know the top of the reservoir and there's a sigh this. Helicopter. I'm just thinking obviously your house is for now you're being optimistic but should the washing up and things cause it doesn't but I mean are you worried about anything that you might lose like you know memories that were in your house your kids memories. I mean you do you worry about all the also things. We do have a full story house and so basically all our important stuff is. That as mine is just on the ground and then the 1st floor is is utilities things that can be replaced. You know. With insurance and a lot of inconvenience but mind you know all the things that are all. Bought with the source of water you don't even know if it can take hours without I don't know yeah absolutely I mean there's so much to think about in the world you know what Catherine thank you again and carry on being optimistic less this just hope that the the helicopter manages to build up the dam and nothing tragic happens but I want to do what you get to hold at some point because I think you deserve it now more so than probably before don't know and I will just go through you know if we can take it to the small and then and then when the helicopter saying you know you just you just can't go about even trying to go back to sleep have to be you know same watching it I think 1st of all the size of it it's just yeah yeah thanks a lot and you know well you know when you go to the airport you go on a flight and you see all these people with pints of Guinness at 3 in the morning I think you deserve a massive gin and tonic Kathryn's like you you can be drink. Every want to go Catherine I forgot my thing is crossed absolute pleasure speaking to you and thing . You very much for your time yet Thank you know all about that all the best there we got Katherine Harris and who's one of the the residents of Wiley bridge which I'm sure you've seen on the news and I lose talking about it on the news this morning and it does beg the question well if you were given a few minutes what would you grab what would be the 1st few items you would take let's talk about that over the next half hour that number to call oh I want to double 956 and also I'll play some tennis which you don't want to.
