I suspect that's not an easy question to answer Alex; it has its own "rules" that place.
Water's now dropped a fair bit on the west side; Beck Head Stream Cave isn't resurging any more.
Just for interest, gusts of 67 mph were recorded at Ribblehead today - but that's nowt compared with Scotland, where 165 mph was clocked. That's worse than some of the hurricanes they get in Florida. There was a car swept into the river in Wensleydale today but (happily) both occupants survived.
It's certainly been a grim week weatherwise here in the Dales.
