Well the rain has started in the North Pennines
7.2mm in the last hour

As for the floods of 2005, this is different setup. There has been
plenty of dry weather recently, hopefully the ground will soak most of
this up. In 2005 we were already saturated. If anyone is intrested
there is a good publication on line all about it. I think Will Hand
has a mention and even my station ( briefly )
