God. Did I say three feet of water? Make that five....

[binarysunrise]

Anyone see the season finale of Spooks?? Sorta reminiscent...

[Korvac Saga]

Holy mess!!!!!!!! And I thought we had problems with heavy rain and flooding

[Flaming_Telepath]

Yeah, it's pretty bad right now. As counter-intuitive as it might sound, I'm OK as the house is about 15 feet from the Grand Union canal. The local river is the other side of the canal and as the canals can be regulated...hell, they can be emptied if need be...it forms a protective barrier.

 

Tonight's going to be interesting, as they are predicting that the Thames in Oxfordshire will burst it's banks in the early hours. Judging by the speed with which the river is currently flowing, it's going to wash away most things in its path.

i hope it eases up for you soon

Yikes, perhaps someone over there should build an ark to store 2 of every comic for 40 days seriously though, hope your homes and families are safe..

Hang in there lads. Hopefully the rain will soon end and the rivers will crest and start draining out.

 

We've had a pretty temperate July here in Central Canada, but I find that now storms blow up really quickly. Lightning, heavy rain almost out of nowhere. But nothing like you guys are going through.

 

Take care fellas,

Uuurgh, it's no fun trying to be a farmer in England. We're supposed to be hay making.

Thanks Shep...you think we Brits would be able to cope with loadsa rain, but that hasn't been the case. Then again, we don't often get a monsoon season...

Hard to believe that after this the government still wants to build houses in high risk areas (which are currently under 3 feet of water).

 

We build cities over here below sea level. Par for the course.

As it turns out, my website was down yesterday. This was because the company that hosts the site are based in Gloucester, and they've been having problems.....due to the floods.

 

Back up now, tho'.

No, just from the net.

 

Earl.

[MutantKeys]

[Earl Davis]

Well it looks like we are drying out now.
