Weird one this, but he recorded a video of the dreadful floods in the West Country, & so far it has been on....

Sky News

ITN News

Now a daily newspaper wants to use it.

Well done Gary!

GaryQQQ

It's just a 20 second clip of a car driving through floodwater close to where I live. I uploaded it to Youtube late last night and tweeted the video and put a link on Facebook expecting it to get maybe a few dozen views from locals.

When I woke this morning I was surprised to see had 53 retweets, 1686 views (now about 4,400) and requests for it's use from ITN and Sky News. I gave permission, though by then they'd already gone ahead and it put it on their national news reports anyway.

It's weird how a short clip that I don't consider particularly remarkable went viral so quickly. Perhaps it's because I got it online so quickly, a few minutes after I shot it, while it was dark and before the news teams could get into the affected areas.
