Sheffield Lady’s Bridge flooding amid 'Biblical rainfall' in UK

Heavy rain in Yorkshire, England, has left the streets flooded on Thursday (November 7).

Flooding has closed the lines between Sheffield and Gainsborough, Sheffield and Lincoln and Hebden Bridge and Manchester Victoria.

Full emergency service is running across the city, monitoring and working "full capacity" to prevent further flooding.

"The rain is going to get worse again tonight," Councillor Mark Jones said.

One contractor described the rain as "not far from biblical".
