This was a day we will never forget, I certainly won't. I had water above my knees, helped an 80year old woman to safety, rescued a rescue truck and took refuge in the Royal Oak at Brampton where I was made very welcome even though my trainers where full of water, but then again so was there cellar and one of there rooms!

This is Part 1 of our photos plenty more to come soon.

But joking apart we hope that everyone was safe and sound after a very stressful day. After having seen the nationwide devastation I think we got off very lightly in Chesterfield unless you know different. Send in your stories and photos to info@qtbi.co.uk
