Sat 5th December 2015 Storm Desmond arrived.
This footage mainly at x8 speed taken by one of our on board cameras shows how the floods developed eventually trapping ourselves.
The predicted severe weather started to have an impact. Among other issues, our local ambulance station became flooded, with the crew moving in to our base. Regional co-ordination of MR responses was scaled up and requests for flood related assistance started to come in. Welfare checks on residents of vulnerable properties, recovery of people daft enough to sink their cars, some responses with NWAS paramedics and a couple of transfers to hospital.
During one rescue we recovered 25 passengers from a coach trapped in a landslide at Thirlmere eventually one of our own response Land Rovers became trapped. For more information see http://www.lamrt.org.uk/incidents/2015/incident/123
