As Cumbria attempts to recover from the effects of this week’s torrential downpours, the Carluke Gazette has revealed that other parts of the country have also felt the force of mother nature.
It explained that Clydesdale has been soaked by rain, leading to flooding at Kirkfieldbank Caravan Park, as well as numerous other locations in the region.
In Rosebank, flood water came “perilously close to buildings”, while public transport and schools have also been hit with the difficult weather.
On the roads, six accidents were reported on the nearby stretch of the M74 motorway, while part of the A72 Clyde Valley road was closed for hours after the river burst its banks.
The Met Office noted that the rainfall recorded in Cumbria could be the greatest amount to fall in a single location over a 24-hour period since records began.
Meanwhile, the Hull Daily Mail recently revealed that dozens of families displaced from their homes in Yorkshire during the June 2007 floods are still living in caravans.
