Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. Its the day after the rain, a day that will live in memory for a long time as one of the worst floods ever in this region. I hope youre well despite the extreme weather and dont miss Look North today, well be right out across the region with all the latest after yesterday's flooding. Thats dominating the news today of course. So many people have been affected, and dozens more people have been evacuated this morning to escape the water. Its done a huge amount of damage, and lots of schools and businesses will be lying empty today.
We're spending the day with the emergency services as they struggle to cope. They have been stretched to the limit of course. And we'll be asking what can be done to prevent the same chaos happening again in the future. There are a lot of questions being asked, as there always are after events like these. And of course well have the all important weather forecast today, all eyes will be on that. Its a big programme tonight, dont miss it on BBC One at half past six. Floods Well yesterday was one of the worst days of flooding since records began. I hope you managed to make it through intact, and that youre coping. Everybody here at Look North and at Radio Humberside and Radio Lincolnshire was working incredibly hard to keep up with the news and get all the information out to you. We had lots and lots of help with all the information and photographs being sent into us, so thank you for all of that. On a day like yesterday we need all the help we can get and it was wonderful to see everybody pulling together in the community to help each other and get through the flooding. There were some wonderful stories on our BBC radio stations about people overcoming the extreme weather, as well as some sad stories as well, and of course lots of information and advice being given out by them and on Look North throughout yesterday. One message here from Michelle who emailed in to say: I would just like to thank your full team for keeping our local areas updated on the disastrous floods. You're all doing a fantastic job and I'm sure everyone is with me when I say that you are very much appreciated. Make sure you tune into your local radio stations today to continue getting all those updates, and of course dont miss Look North for the full story later today. There were lots of events locally that were planned for this week but have now been cancelled due to the rain, but hopefully everything will be back on track before long. I was listening to Carl and Gloria this morning on Radio Humberside and Gloria mentioned that we are a stoic nation, and Im sure thats true and I think youll see people managing to get back to normality as best they can very soon. Pictures As I mentioned, there were lots of pictures of the flooding sent into us from all over our region. Thank you very much for those, and of course if you have any pictures you think we should see, or we can use on the programme then you can send them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you have any stories on the flooding or anything else, you can drop me a line at the same address. Well thats about it from me today, lets hope for some better weather, I hope you manage to get through alright if youve had some problems with the water, and of course take extra care and stay safe.
