Residents of Tadcaster react to more heartbreak as Storm Franklin leads to flooding of over 60 properties
As Storm Franklin raged through the night, Mick Malkinson, 72, lay awake with a familiar sense of fear about what the morning would bring.
From his riverside home in Tadcaster, a Yorkshire market town, he heard the “thunderous” noise of metal kegs crashing to the floor as the River Wharfe tore through a brewery warehouse nearby. “The noise was horrendous,” he said. “It was like a world war. There was no sleep at all last night.”
