The Flood! Catcliffe residents

The Flood! Catcliffe residents, originally uploaded by outallnight.

All our thoughts this week are with the people of South Yorkshire, we hope everyone makes it through the flood with themselves and their worldly posessions (or whatever matters to them) intact.

Flickr is a great tool for citizen reporting, as are the rise in the number of peopel with good quality digital equipment. It's more interesting to see these shots of local residents then the press stuff in the media channels, particularly these days of "sanitised" media who retell their story and ignore everything else.
