[Egluntyne]

Have just been watching Look North.

 

We are to batten down the hatches.

 

2" of rain expected overnight and flooding anticipated.

 

The emergency wotsit team is out unblocking all culverts and drains in tricky areas.

 

Blomin 'eck.

 

Chocchick....are you there?.........

[hillfamily]

Hope you'll be OK Egluntine

[Egluntyne]

*gulp* me too. Thank you.

 

We live on a hill, and so does Choccy, thank goodness.

[Cooks]

I was thinking exactly that Egluntine, I hope you dont flood and you live higher ground.

 

I hope everything goes ok. Best to take in any items in the garden that can blow around/float, if you haven't done that already.

 

a picture of you sitting in living room with all your chooks just sprang in my head!!!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Ooer . Hope it isn't too wild . Fingers crossed for you!

[Lesley]

I think it's coming up and over us first Egluntine .... and then over Coventry......

 

All the culverts have been sorted out around here as well as we had flash flooding last week.

 

I hope it's not as bad as they predict for you......

[Mrs Frugal]

Good luck, Egluntine!! Make sure your wellies are handy!

[Lesley]

They mentioned East Mids as well Kate.......

[Mrs Frugal]

Oh no!! I've not seen the news this evening. It's raining hard now. Our porch floods if the rain is really heavy! Aargh!! Where are the wellies .

[Goosey Lucy]

I think it's coming up and over us first Egluntine .... and then over Coventry......

 

Gulp!

[Charlottechicken]

Where are the wellies .

 

Hope that's crocs wellies Kate, they float

 

Edited to add, it's just started to rain here too

[Helen&Lee]

 

We live on a hill, and so does Choccy, thank goodness.

 

I hope its near the top of it Egluntine

 

We had the floods last year - three times We live half way up a hill, but the bottom - a bridge over the River Teme, flooded as did the road to about 5ft high

 

The farmer spent a large part of an afternoon pulling vans and cars out of the flooded lane - in the end he left a van in the flood just to show others they really couldn't drive through it...

 

Hope you and everyone else in the path of this storm stays safe

 

Helen

It's exhausting walking to the top where my house is

Storm

 

After some searching I found that flood warnings are shown on http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/subjects/flood/floodwarning/

[The Dogmother]

Cripes! It really feels like it needs to storm here tonight - it's so heavy I went to circuit training and it was like hauling myself through thick molasses

 

I love storms

 

Fingers crossed for everyone and thanks for the warning Egluntine.

[Egluntyne]

It is just raining here at the mo.

 

From the fuss made on Look North you would think that the world was about to end.

[Christian]

Look out for Noah. Thats a dead giveaway

 

Hope you are all ok.

[Lesley]

So, what happened Egluntine? - have you floated away?

 

Very, very wet here but no storms. Our land can't cope with much more rain

[Cooks]

it's rained all night here in cambs as well but nothing very heavy... just constant.

[Egluntyne]

Still here. Raining heavily, but the drains seem to be coping so far.

[hillfamily]

Glad you survived

 

I think the Weather Forecasters just like to make sure they don't underestimate the severity .............. don't want another '87 hurricane incident

[Egluntyne]

I'm sure you are right.

 

Maybe if they had seen to the drains last year there wouldn't have been quite so much devastation from the floods.

[The Dogmother]

We had light but constant rain last night, no storms, which was disappointing.

 

We have to ring and nag the highways agency to jet our street drains out - they are useless at it and Banbury gets flooded enough as it is. We are on a hill, so unless the drains are jetted the water runs down the road and ends up flooding the houses in the dip at the bottom. In those storms last year, they had flooded cellars
