Extremely high River Parrett
Extremely high River Parrett
A view of the extremely high River Parrett at Burrowbridge showing sandbags in place on the east (right) bank top in a last ditch effort to prevent localized flooding. The small road behind the west bank is closed three miles ahead, the small road behind and below the east bank is still clear to Westonzoyland and Bridgwater, the road behind us is flooded to about six inches but passable, and the main A361 to the west is totally closed!
