It looks like the rain abated just in time. I don't know if there has been any flooding down the road from here, but the river level actually only rose another 0.1 m and is now falling quite quickly.The river level is supposed to peak about 3/4 m above where it was when the siren sounded, which would be 1/2 m below its highest recorded level.
My friend in Hebden Bridge was out walking earlier and said that it was looking iffy there. Another few cms and the water would be getting out onto the road through the town. They are 7 km downstream so they get the peak level a while after us. There are other water sources contributing beyond Todmorden so sometimes Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd can flood even if we don't get flooding here.
