Got caught up in the last storm two weeks back when the whole of Tayside and Aberdeenshire were under a couple of feet of water which was pretty hairy at times
Hairy water is new.

After he's left
River Avon bursting its banks in south Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon cricket club pitch submerged, I’ll post some pictures when it’s light. All a bit close to our house, though it was allegedly built to highest flood defence standards. Hopefully won’t be tested.
River currently 1.7m, with ‘normal’ level 0.5 to 1m. Different government websites predict it peaking at different levels - 2.15m to 2.5m, sometime tomorrow. The record recorded high was 2.7m in 1998. Despite this we are at ‘flood alert’ level with no flood warnings. Rather confused.
Regardless of floods it’s been raining forever and I’m ****ing sick of it.
Enjoy. Just had the official flood warning call. I’m pretty sure these properties will be ok, they were designed 4 years ago in a particular way (ie on invisible stilts no basements, with huge attenuation tanks in the garden to collect water the drains can’t handle) but it’s a bit worrying.76° here mate and shorts weather. Had a dip in the pool and put the ac on
