Highvannessa the floods in york have reached their peak approximately 14 feet above normal this is the third highest that the river has been in 2001 the river reached 16 feet above normal it was about two or 3 inches off breaching the flood barrier I think that the previous highest was in 1947 When in that winter they had record amounts of snowfall and then a rapid thaw most of the city was flooded because they had no flood barrier Best wishes Harold You will
