Meadowhall Christmas shoppers trapped after river bursts its banks and houses are evacuated

THIRTY FIVE homes have been evacuated following a mudslide while hundreds of Christmas shoppers have been left stranded in a shopping mall after flooding caused chaos across the country.

This evening, cops announced the area was completely gridlocked and began to turn trapped motorists back into the centre's massive car parks.South Yorkshire Police's Operational Support Unit then advised everyone in the centre not to leave. The force said it had closed the nearby junction 34 of the M1 in both directions to "alleviate pressure".

The rail firm Northern said that a number of routes, including the Todmorden-Rochdale cross-Pennine line, had been closed due to flooding.

"We advise people to stay away from swollen rivers and not to drive through flood water as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to move your car." Many commuters in and around the village of Tomintoul in the Scottish Highlands had to dig their cars out of snow drifts before setting off.
