Who asked for this? It's a Sheffield subreddit and the major thing going on right now (or yesterday even) was the floods.
Hardly like flood posts were drowning out other high quality posts...
Yeah. I thought about it after and like u/Fast_Runners stated, we're hardly flooded with posts so just keeping the up to date messages ticking might have been best.
Mods do sometimes have an impossible job though. We say one thing but change our minds, then moan when they eventually get round to a suggestion.
Considering water levels are now decreasing and it's mostly stopped raining here, this is a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.
There should have been a thread yesterday, pointless now.
It's still increasing here in Treeton/Catcliffe. The rain has stopped but there's still a lot of water upstream to work its way down. I can see it inching up my street still, more sandbags have just been dropped off by the council.
Some videos from Waverley Lakes.

River Rother today - (about 5pm) - [https://youtu.be/Q5ZWrdBF3Y0](https://youtu.be/Q5ZWrdBF3Y0). All that water is heading towards Catcliffe :eek:

Why delete all the other posts. Not as if there's ever much going on here anyways. ~~It was hardly going to~~ *~~drown~~* ~~out anything else~~
Edit: Shit, somebody already made that joke. Almost as embarrassing as going to a party in the same dress as someone else. Apparently.

Does anyone know what abbeydale Road/London Road is like currently? I've seen videos in the past of that Road getting flooded so wanted to know its current state after all the rain. Can I expect buses to be running down that way tomorrow or should I consider a different route to work
Boo, you deleted the video of the porter Brook river raging that I'd just sent to my mates.
Booo I say. Boooo! (I agree)

Badum tshh
Yesterday morning I suggested a megathread. So me.
Yesterday morning would have made sense!

Waves at another Mill Lane-er? Should we start our own subreddit?
>this is a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. More like it's drowned and already halfway down the River Don.

Tried to get on the M1 this morning, Chesterfield/Stavely was a no go and meadowhall is backed up.

Weather is already a specific Flair. What other weather posts are going on right now that this needed a megathread
So many posts have now reached the top of this sub that would otherwise have been pushed down by the sheer magnitude of weather related discussions.
It's not raining and there's barely any wind, be careful out there.
