A clear-up operation is under way in parts of Yorkshire after torrential rain caused flash flooding.
North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire were badly affected on Wednesday, with some homes and businesses being evacuated.
Humberside Fire Service received 135 calls in three hours as heavy rain fell on Goole and the aftermath left the town college closed.
In Dunnington, near York, trees came down in high winds and hailstones damaged the Britain in Bloom entry.
In the port of Goole the clear up has started and an investigation has begun into why street drains filled and left standing water.

Dramatic footage has emerged of a freak twister that ripped through the Russian city of Blagoveshchensk last night.
It left one person dead, nearly 30 injured, tore off roofs from nearly a hundred houses and damaged 150 cars. Authorities in the far eastern city, which has a population of around 200,000, have declared a state of emergency as a result.
Tornadoes are extremely rare in Russia, and local meteorologists say it is the first tornado ever to hit a Russian city, according to weather records.

On Sunday, July 31, local farmers met to discuss options on this eroding section of levee in the Grand Pass bottoms. Late Sunday and Monday, they put approximately 160 blocks of concrete in the hole and report it is holding well for now.

Even as the Army Corps of Engineers announced it will start gradually dropping record flows from Gavins Point Dam this week, area farmers and landowners are still fighting against the swollen Missouri River.
At a private levee in the Grand Pass bottoms, a section of constant swirling river heading towards the bank began eroding a large section in the levee last week. Within just a few days, it became a large hole.
“There are sometimes at night when you come down here it sounds like an ocean,” said one of the many farmers inspecting the problem on Sunday, July 31. The hole is located in front of farmland commonly referred to as White’s Island.

Planet X or Nibiru
There is fresh talk about that planet x is pulling on the magnetic field of Earth and causing freak weather conditions in the southern hemisphere, like the Japan volcano and the Australia floods and cyclone.
I hope to the big G that the whole world does not end up having to put up with localised freak weather and natural disasters.
I was searching about and came accross this picture of planet x, it’s quite an old one I found on a forum by David Icke
