Dennis ( the menace ) has arrived.

Thank you Wildrose just read the weather and it's with us for 4 days instead of just the week end let's hope we are nt swimming out our homes . I have slabs outside my back door so no pools of water shattering. I just hope the canal by me does nt over flow.

THE RAIN CERTAINLY CAME DOWN HEAVY AT TIMES LAST NIGHT, AND WAS BLOWING ACROSS THE ROAD AT QUITE AN ANGLE. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIVER IS LIKE DOWN THE ROAD....RAGING I EXPECT.

We had a panel fence blown out Chris the second recently but that all so far ..

Up to now Chris, no more damage ! We are quite lucky here on the east coast though. I feel so sorry for people in other areas.

So far, so good, just an extremely wet garden......luckier than most!

It is all very disturbing and seeing the suffering it is causing is really awful.
I hope that brighter, calmer days will follow for everybody.

Wildrose, let’s hope so, it is causing so much misery....

lets hope you stayed safe.

We had very high winds last night, but amazingly, very little damage. We are ok...just tired..I hope you all are ok as well. It's been horrible for so many people.

I lived in Hereford at one point I still have family there ,I'm told my late brothers house is under water all the roads are cut off my sister in law can't get out also my nieces son's office is under water , My Neice is due to fly to Mexico today but is finding it difficult to get a road out .. it's a dreadful business ...

It is just awful to see the extent of the flooding and the suffering that it has caused. If only the rain would ease off for a while.

Amy it must be so worrying for you to hear of the problems it has caused for your family. I hope things improve for them sooner rather than later.

I hope so to Chris , I remember the last time it was as bad as this in Hereford I was at school ,we loved it because we couldn't get to school . silly kids ,we didn't know the seriousness of it , must have been about 1958 , they have made a lot of improvements since then to the flood defences but obviously still not enough for the huge quantities of water raging through ..

If I watch one more weather forecast filled with doom and gloom, I shall scream!
It will be a massive relief when the rain eases off. Many changes will have to take place to protect people from such destructive flooding, let's hope it can be done.
