River Don tide times

[Filo]

Anyone know what time high tide is on the River Don, we’re on red flood alert here in Stainy with the River at record highs and still rising

[Bentley Bullet]

That's what you get for offending Bentley!

[GazLaz]

River Don?? He doesn’t post on here anymore does he!!

[Bentley Bullet]

River Don?? He doesn’t post on here anymore does he!!

No, he doesn't, a decent guy too. I think he got pissed off with the snowflakes, like a lot of other people.

[BillyStubbsTears]

He was a top lad and he is very much missed.

I'm not sure there's any evidence to support that assertion though BB.

From the private chats I regularly had with him, he was pissed off with several people in here, but none of them are the ones that I'd guess you are insulting in that post.

[Bentley Bullet]

And which ones am I insulting in that post?

[BillyStubbsTears]

The ones he was pissed off at wouldn't be described as snowflakes. So you tell me who you meant.

[Bentley Bullet]

I meant he was probably pissed off with snowflakes, what did you mean?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Ho ho ho.

[StocktonRover]

So did it flood?

Apparently, we're still waiting for the flood police to get back from Tranmere to update us.

There is a factor to add for Stainy which I will look for next but think +2 rings a bell
Cant pin it down exactly but adding 2 hours to Goole High Tide times will give you approx Stainy time !
This ones easier to read I think but adjust the date of course

So did it flood?

We survived on the Stainy side, the River currently overflowing on the Fishlake side, so I assume Fishlake will be cut off

I met him a couple of times, really good guy.

Fishlake cut off and water entering houses in Fishlake apparentley, water teaming of the flood banks on Fishlake Nab

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Pretty bad. Makes my flooded garage seem rather tame.  We got through forstead lane yesterday and fair to say it wasn't looking good.  I wanted to move out to Braithwaite when we moved last year, its days like today that made me glad we didn't.  Not nice for those being flooded.

[Filo]

Fishlake Nab just over the bridge from Stainforth at the junction of the road to Moss and Askern

[glosterred]

Due to the heavy rain we've had, road closures are currently in place at:
⚠️Fordstead Lane between Arksey and Barnby Dun
⚠️Bridge Hill at Stainforth including Fishlake Nab
⚠️ Plumtree Hill and Jackrow Lane at Fishlake
⚠️ Low Lane at Kirk Bramwith
⚠️ Greys Bridge at Denaby

When do you see them ever cleaning drains out these days? That doesn’t help when we have a lot of rain.

When I was a kid they used to dredge the Don, never seen it done for 45 years or more

[drfchound]

Filo, I know someone who lives in Stainforth who is a local historian.
Some years ago he told me that the engineer who designed the river banks made the Fishlake side a foot lower so that if it ever flooded that side would cop for the lot.
Guess which side the engineer lived at.

That is true hound, but it was designed that way so the pit wouldn’t get flooded

Council cutbacks Gaz.

That's the genius of how the Tories implemented Austerity. The vast majority of the reductions in Govt spending since 2010 have been in the money given to councils. So councils have had to massively cut back the services they can provide. And folk, understandably, get pissed off with councils rather than the Govt.

It's shocking how roads and pavements flood every time there's any rain, because the drainage system is clogged and not looked after. The result of that, apart from increasing the chances of flooding getting into buildings, is that road and pavement surfaces get more badly damaged. So, over time, there's a huge additional cost to this apparent "saving". Madness.

Yet our councils can still afford political advisors etc....  interesting choice of spending there.

A lot of the priorities for spending seem to be strange at times. I know they have legal obligations but never the less i'm sure politics does come into it.

[Yargo]

Loads of flooding already round Tickhill, Wadworth and Braithwell

[selby]

  They don't do bad for high wages and pensions either, in the upper management levels, or spending on super duper council offices.

[Donnywolf]

Don over at Meadowhall

Don over at Rotherham Parkgate already

Sprotborough - water nearly level with the Weir top !!!!

[Filo]

Just had a flood alert phone call from the environment agency, the River at Stainy has another 6ft before it gets to the top of the flood banks

[BillyStubbsTears]

According to this, the Environment Agency is predicting the Don at North Bridge to top out at the highest level yet recorded tonight.

Don't know how far back their records go, mind.
