- The latest Third Rate coverage of the record floods of February 2022 (2/2/2022). Join Third Rate content as we retrace some of the steps of the 2020 video we visit some new areas and have a more in depth investigation of the situation on the ground in the most affected areas of Shrewsbury.
Great video! Thanks so much for making this. My heart goes out to everyone in my home town affected by this.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes it’s awful I hope things get sorted out quickly once the river subsides
Thanks for the closeup views of the floods! I think you are quite correct that Shrewsbury is in a bad position and has always been prone to flooding. My husband ( who has a better memory than me) says he remembers flooding at the bottom of Mardol in the early 80’s, but the area near the Abbey never flooded while we lived in Shrewsbury up to the mid 90’s. So maybe it’s worse these days? Best of luck to Shrewsbury residents in these difficult circumstances though. Hope things get back to normal soon and you can all start drying out! Only a few weeks til Spring!!
Thank you Pam always a pleasure. I think there has been 3 really bad floods in the last 20 years or so (2 of which now covered on this channel) let’s hope this is the last for quite a while 👍
The area by the Abbey has flooded, the council put up boards for people to walk on with the workers helping them. .
These are strange times we are living in at the moment.
No doubt about that but hey at least we’re living 😉 👍

There is definitely something about it. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video of Shrewsbury in the floods, some of my family live in the area,I haven't seen for a lot of years, but have got in contact by fb was hoping to come up there but as you said, the covid came in 2020 two years ago, l can remember as a girl hearing about Shrewsbury being flooded,
Thank you for the comment it’s much appreciated. Yes it does get quite wet round here from time to time
York had it bad too m8,interesting seeing other places ,tc
Thanks for the view and the comment. Yes it looked bad up there 👍
Well thats me not driving up town tomorrow thanks for the update all the best 👍
A coracle might be a better idea 🤣👍
Thanks for a great video. Did you get any shots of the barrier? As I don’t see them
Thanks you for the kind words they’re much appreciated. No I didn’t get over to Frankwell and I couldn’t get to to footbridge that leads to Frankwell car park due to the water.
Good that
Thanks mate, and thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
2023 version on the way? ;)
Tomorrow lunch time. There’s a short of the Flood defences up now for a preview 👍👍
Thanks for this video folks, weather weapon warfare/engineering has also been going on and been getting more advanced, at least since the 1950's, check out the patents and treaties, .. for this type of tech, ..
Could be interesting to investigate the Lynmouth (in North Devon) floodings 15-16 August 1952 resulting in much damage and a loss of 34 lives and research Operation Cumulus or Operation Witch Doctor, ..
👍
👍👍
Bearing in mind this is a fairly normal if infrequent event who are the halfwits that gave planning permission for the modern buildings shown in your footage?
I haven’t researched that 🤣👍
I'd like to see you in a dingy dan next time
I’m not to sure if the emergency services would enjoy rescuing me tho. 🤣👍
If they put a couple of pence onto the price of petrol, the reduction in emissions would feed through and the water would recede. But our politicians know it would upset their dear voters too much.
