United Kingdom: Fears Of Flooding As Water Levels Peak
The level of the river is "currently peaking" at 5.07 metres - apparently three bricks below the flood-defence level.
The only time it has surpassed that was in 2000 when it reached 5.4 metres, one brick below the flood defence level.
That triggered widespread flood damage to around 2,000 homes in the vicinity of the river in the city.
