Remember this?
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 when Harry and Hermione are on the run they stop on top of this impressive view.
That's Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales, UK.
It's a limestone cliff that used to be a huge waterfall during the last Ice Age 12,000+ years ago.
No-one in living memory has seen water passing over it...
Until this weekend.
For the first time in living memory it became a waterfall again thanks to flooding.
This last happened around 200 years ago.
It became England's tallest waterfall in the process.
Cool huh?

Thanks for connecting Harry Potter with it in the beginning, def would have passed otherwise. It's cool, but I mostly just love HP facts.

What a time to be alive knowing that such rare moments can be captured in video instead of written or oral histories.

Didn't water go over it 200 years ago?
SugarSmack
I hate that I have to say it, but it was a joke.
EscarFrazzle
Sorry bro, I'm PC.

Yeah. Lake Missoula covered Montana to a depth of over a 1000', and it all drained at once. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Missoula

It's cool but it's the 'cool' part of huge devastation of floods which have caused untold damage across the UK.
CarlosPerfectHair
I was just going to say something like this. Yes there's a waterfall, on the other hand, there are 4,000-5,000 homes flooded/without power.
izzythegoblin
Had no power from Saturday night until this morning. Floods everywhere around us. Its pretty horrific.

SirVladimirPutin
Liverpool, seems like there are a few of us from previous posts I've seen. What about you?
TheHudsonHawk
Kind of what I though when I read "thanks" to flooding. Who has ever said that?
TimTamFlimFlam
As someone who just left the UK after vacation there, thanks for waiting for me to leave :)
melodramaticbat
As someone from the UK living in a town that's seen major floods, I don't mind seeing a silver lining.
bulldicker
I go to uni in Carlisle my friend doesn't have a house any more after the floods reached the second floor of their house
melodramaticbat
I didn't say that bad shit hasn't happened. My family are from Cumbria and we've been lucky not to have our house destroyed.
bulldicker
I wasn't disagreeing with you or having a go man :) i was agreeing ahah!
Cahow
I guess it's important to think positive in times like this, hope the damage isn't too much to your home
melodramaticbat
I got off lucky cos I live on the top floor. Frinedlives in a basement flat and they only just about managed to save their desktop, 1/2
melodramaticbat
the rest of their room is above knee deep in water :-/
