Liverpool Airport had to be partially evacuated yesterday when flash flooding hit Merseyside, the Daily Post and Echo both report. The departure terminal was flooded at about 17:00, triggering fire alarms. Staff were forced to evacuate bemused holidaymakers as the rain thundered down.
A spokesman for the airport told the Post: ‘We had an immense downpour, which caused flooding within the terminal building. The end of the departure lounge used by Ryanair was closed and we had to put them over at the other end of the departure lounge along with easyJet customers. It caused a tight squeeze but no major delays and operationally it’s been fine.’
