Anyone living in Hull?

If you are, are you near the marina?

My mother in law lives on the marina and apparently she is saying its flooded up to the arches of her car.

Now she is known to exaggerate and i was wondering if anyone lived close by and could take some pics?

Of your mother in law?

Checked the news and she seems to be telling the truth.

Just wondering at the extent of the flooding, they are dropping hints on the phone about me picking them up.

As I posted in the other thread:

Victoria Dock, Hull, which is very close to the marina.

So, yes. That IS the River Humber.

Victoria Dock has been completely evacuated, parts of Clive Sullivan Way are under water and I have been told by friends on facebook that its getting high near Barton.

Yikes! This is Kingston Retail Park in Hull.... :eek:

So my guess is Albert Dock and the marina are overflowing right now. This is looking extremely bad.

I'm also seeing a video from a mate where there is water flowing about a foot deep across the A63 between St Andrews Quay and Smith & Nephew:

Odeon Cinema car park:

Quite worried now as we have a relative who lives near Mount Pleasant retail park.

Humberside Fire Brigade warning of water pressure forcing manhole covers up, an extremely dangerous situation to be caught in.

Poor Hull

But there's some irony in Victoria DOCK being flooded

Surprisingly yes, don't tell everyone though or Southern ***** will want to move here for City of Culture 2017 and push the house prices up.
