Floods

Post by Rossell » Mon Feb 17, 2020 8:53 pm

How's everyone been coping with storm Dennis? Down here in Gloucestershire/Herefordshire its utterly mental. What you're seeing on the news is only a smidgen of how bad it is.

I've only got two potential routes into work tomorrow and both are dodgy and might not work :cry:

I'm just thanking my lucky stars I don't live in a place that floods because I'm feeling seriously sorry for people that do.

We've been fine around these parts, which is strange as we usually get it tight when it comes to weather.

Hope everyone here is coping OK. From what I have seen it all looks genuinely horrendous.

I'm literally just up the hill from Nantgarw, which seems to have featured in a lot of the news reports. Lots of low lying areas around me were totally impassable on Saturday.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Lots of flooding around the Midlands but nothing in the city itself really apart from my usual running route by the river was a roaring torrent today. Quite a few people were stopping to take photos and videos as if a slightly higher than normal, fast flowing river was a particularly exciting thing to see.

Aside from travel problems last weekend, it’s not been too bad in Lancaster. Very windy, but that’s standard round here. I’m in a potential flood area (low risk), but considering I wasn’t hit by the floods a few years ago which saw the city briefly turn into some post-apocalyptic disaster zone, I think I’m safe, touchwood.
