It's a bit bumpy around your way.

Thankfully, our drains were all sluiced, yesterday, so I didn't have to do quite as much wading as I sometimes do. If our village did flood, I'd probably convert from atheism and say my prayers, since we're 500' above sea level, but the roads turn into rivers, when it's lie this and the drains further down the bank always flood.

There's an official list of flooded roads in Co durham, but knowing the area, and after seeing the 24 in completely the wrong place, I know it'll not be exhaustive. No word on Twitter about what either the 22 or 24 are doing, as part of the 22's route is impassible.

The following roads are currently either closed or difficult to pass due to standing water:


A181 Sherburn House (This is the road under the old railway bridge on the 22's route - the water gets quite deep and a car got stuck in it, earlier)
A691 Consett – Lanchester
A19 Peterlee area
A68 Allensford – CLOSED
New Front Street, Tanfield Lea – CLOSED
Front Road, Leadgate – CLOSED
A694 Shotley Bridge
B6312 Plawsworth
B6532 Pity Me - Sacriston

Edit - this one will be why the 24 is diverted, too
