Biblical deluge

[panik]

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?

It seems to have hit a swathe of the country; West Midlands to South Yorkshire. The problem has been mostly with rivers bursting their banks, but some roads around here have turned into raging rivers. It's such a tremendous volume of rain after a long dry spell and it's not soaking into the ground, just rolling over it.

I've never seen anything like it in this part of the country before. Very strange.

Glad you're OK!
