The villages around here are flodding (Scholes, Barwick, Aberford etc)

One of our suppliers of software at work are down in Kettering somewhere, phone lines are dead, websites down - heard from them that they've had to evacuate the buildings and everything

Luckily i live at the top of a hill, so i'm alright

yeah its not been good. Its like what you see on the news, not on you own doorstep Loads of houses flooded out literally 50 yards from our close, yet we escaped...phew! The old bridge held up and saved our asses It was like the rapids at alton towers on our side of the bridge, and at the other side it was like the thames
