Biblical deluge

Is everyone in the UK OK? Did anyone get washed into the sea?

Man!

I can't remember ever seeing rain like that in these latitudes before. Sheets and sheets of it, hour after hour. We're OK up here, on a moor, 1000 feet above SL but I believe most of South Yorkshire is in a bad way. They're sandbagging houses over where my relatives live in Chapeltown and Ecclesfield and much of Sheffield is under water.

How about the rest of you?

My parents are in Staffordshire and they said heavy rain but no damage.

There's no damage here, as we're high up, but some of the roads are just raging rivers, the river has burst its banks and downriver towrds Sheffield, houses are flooding and cars being washed away.

And it's so hot and sticky. It's really tropical. O:!
