Valkyrie Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I can see it now, worried parents and adults - children excited because the schools have closed. I hope it stops soon before the high tide, so fingers, legs and everything else crossed for you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Awful wind and rain here all day. Was worried about getting boys home from school as the water was over the road with more bubbling up from the man holes! Friend has just emailed to say she is really worried, they built their house near the local river 8 years ago and have never had any problems, but is really worried tonight as river is at its highest, any higher and it'll be in her garden and house. The local fields are saturated and look like lakes. Here's hoping the rain eases for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm just watching the live news feed from Cockermouth. OMG it's horrendous!! The main road through the town centre is a 6ft deep raging torrent as the rivers have burst their banks and there's a full scale rescue operation going on.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm just watching the live news feed from Cockermouth. OMG it's horrendous!! The main road through the town centre is a 6ft deep raging torrent as the rivers have burst their banks and there's a full scale rescue operation going on. Hubby's been on standby manning MR all night and they've had all their vehicles out. RAF have had three SeaKings airlifting people through the night. Rain seems to be easing. It's awful for the folk in Cockermouth, Kendal's bad but at least the town's not got a river running through it. I hope everybody gets home safe in the next few days.

Valkyrie Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Dampish this morning but turned out brighter and saw a little bit of blue, a little bit of sun in between the murky bits and then it started to rain around 3 - been steady ever since.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Started off OK now raining again. We had enough time to finish the chooks new home and they are ensconced in their new "field". Sabre, bless her, even managed to find the coop to lay I had to entice the others in with treats. We can now have a garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
