Residents said it was 'like being in the sea' after heavy rain swamped a Nottinghamshire road. Tia Smith posted this picture on Beeston Updated, with the words - "Nothing to say!! Lol" - after thunderstorms broke over parts of the county on Saturday night, July 8, flooding areas with torrential rain.
Tia, 38, of Chilwell, was stranded in Beeston Social Club with her partner when the storm broke out. She told Nottinghamshire Live the storm, " slowed us down, so we made a run for it to The Hop Pole pub, Beeston. But we were greeted by the tidal wave of water at both ends of Beeston High Road.
"It was like being at the sea, but instead of it being nice, it smelt like sewage water! You needed wellies to get through it!"
