Default Flood :(

My street, about 20 mins ago..















And we have it lucky! i have power upstairs

I was round at my brothers helping out one of his neighbours as it was getting in his house - i didnt even bother going to my own place - dont care about my stuff, but i do about other peoples...

Oh, and a normal drive home from work takes 45 minutes... today was 4 hours!!!!

I missed my job interview too

Its here all week too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweath...n.shtml#no_url - im in Hull

Not good at all mate! I know how you feel, used to live in the country and a river ran across the bottom of our garden, was a nightmare every winter!

Cant think of much worse, your close to drowning and a little turd is bobbing its way over towards your napper, not a good end to it all


Should be good for Sheffield's tourism though,

Thanks for asking

its pretty clear now tbh now the rain has stopped..

few puddles, rear drive has a big a big puddle but tbh we've got away with it - cant have power down stairs still though - electrics are still damp.

The greenies have been saying the lack of rain is down to global warming. Guess what they'll put the rain down to
