FLOOD ALERTS IN PLACE FOR RYDE, NEWPORT AND THE EASTERN YAR

The Environment Agency has issued 3 flood alerts for the Isle of Wight, warning of possible flooding in Ryde, Newport

As this story from yesterday shows there's a lot of water in Ryde at the moment, hopefully the depot hasn't flooded - it's done a lot of damage in the past and there's been no opportunity to move units out of the way.

Water levels in the Monktonmead Brook at St Johns in Ryde are high and rising with 20mm of rain recorded in the area in the past 9 hours alone – a fairly large amount of rain in a short period of time. In the next hour, water may begin to flow across the railway tracks upstream of St Johns Station, although Island Line services are suspended for 3 months.
