Floody hell

I live about a mile and a half from here. This is where I go shopping, where my kids go to school, go to the library and do anything that doesn't necessitate a trip into Newcastle really. A bit of a shock to see this happen, and even more of a shock to see it on the national news, and to have friends and family ringing to check if we are alright.
