I was in Cockermouth this lunchtime, about 20 mins after we left they started to close the roads, evacuate schools. Tonight it is a scene of complete devastation, the river has burst it's banks. There are 3 RAF Sea King Helicopters and RLNI out evacuating 200 people from their homes, some people are still trapped. The main street is 3ft deep in water and rising!! If anyone is still up you can catch this breaking news story on SKY NEWS.
My heart goes out to these people whose homes are going to be ruined so close to christmas, yet 30 mins down the road I sit warm and dry. Please give these people a thought and pray the rains tops sometime soon.
