Ipswich - 20 Mi to E - much mo See Ipswich Evening Star:-


Torrential downpours have drenched Ipswich, causing flash-flooding in
parts of the town, while flooding has also been reported near the Post
Office in Framlingham.

Man-hole covers on Stoke Bridge in Ipswich have been lifting up as the
volume of water forces them out of place.

One eye-witness said: “The water is so high the man-hole covers are
just lifting up in the road.”

The rain, which comes after an extended period of hot and sunny
weather, is expected to last all week.

(Worrying to see that it is going on for a week, and who originated
that I wonder??

Jim Bacon on BBC TV this evening said that there had been up 30mm in
places.
Local radio clarified that there is no Official policy to warn of
floods due to 'excessive surface water'
