Angry River

Normally not much more than a Babbling Brook, this is Hebden Water flowing from Hardcastle Crags, through Midgehole and down into Hebden Bridge where it is joining the River Calder and creating havoc and destruction in Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd.
A red weather warning - danger to life - has been issued by the Met Office in the wake of the heavy rainfall - and it's still raining.

Hebden Bridge is under water - and it looks as though it will be worse than the 2012 floods.  Having seen the mess that was, I really don't know what to say this time except our thoughts and hopes are with all the poor souls who are suffering down in the town. 
Thankfully Maison MD is on a hill - thus the water passes us by.
News item in the Yorkshire Post.
One odd image in extras - Hardcastle Crags car park - deserted - on Boxing Day....never known that before.
