Storms deluge historic British city
Britain's most severe September storms for 30 years flooded homes and businesses in the historic city of York yesterday and threatened chaos for much of northern England.
Residents took to boats to navigate the picturesque streets of the city dating from Roman times but officials said flood defences would cope as the River Ouse reached near record levels, three metres higher than normal.
Further rain was forecast for Thursday, putting thousands of home in northern England at risk.
