@DaveThroupEA @WestMerciaSAR Isn't the Boat Inn at Jackfield near Ironbridge? What's Worcester and the Teme got to do with that? Unless there's a different Jackfield
Drone footage of #Ironbridge this morning shows huge amounts of water moving through with defences operating to protect the community there. Levels remain high along the Severn and many other rivers across #Midlands. EA teams operating 24/7 to respond https://t.co/4ECDXDeMYI
Our critical #flood risk reduction work continues at #Burton and #PerryBarr & #Witton, where our partners are following all guidelines to keep their teams & everyone else safe. When finished, these two schemes will better protect ~5500 homes & hundreds of businesses #TeamEA
February was the wettest on record and the wettest in #Wales since 1923.
Near Lake Vyrnwy in Powys 512mm (20'') was recorded, over 3.5 times the average!
It was also the 9th wettest winter in #Wales since records began in 1862!

We are having to solve some interesting logistical problems to get things done!
Team work in action getting fuel to the flood defence pumps in #ironbridge
So, this isn’t exactly filling us with joy. The weather looks set to stay unsettled for a while yet. Being prepared for the worst can make such a huge difference to the impacts of and recovery from #flooding. I’d urge you to check your flood risk here 👉 https://t.co/NRflvZ9HD2
Measuring 525 cumecs (tonnes per second) at #Bewdley this evening as #River#Severn peak comes through. Second highest ever gauged (only 2000 was higher). Unbelievable amounts and forces!
We’ve removed the Severe Flood Warning from the River Severn at Shrewsbury, but a Flood Warning remains in place as does the Severe Flood Warning for Ironbridge. Keep vigilant and check the live flood warnings in your area https://t.co/8Yp3G07GqQ #floodaware.
Measuring the River Severn again today as it responds to rain in the Welsh hills. 320 cumecs currently. These gaugings help improve our data accuracy and improve flood warnings.
