Details:

June 25^th 2007. The rains fall, the waters rise and the city goes under. Over 8000 homes wrecked by the floods. It’s a day you can’t forget. Chaos and confusion. Drama and distress. Rescue and relief. And the abiding memory of the tragedy of a young man trapped in rising water. Two years on and it’s still not over. Every time it rains the memories come flooding back. Wellies and waders. Sandbags and stress. The smell of damp. The peeling plaster and the builders from hell. The hassle. The humour. The heroes. From the writer of the acclaimed ‘Northern Trawl’ comes the real stories of Hull people in the floods, and how this unprecedented event in the city’s history brought out the best and worst in a community.
