will probably need it soon.......

Hull's got it bad....












Ray

Hope you are OK, no damage?

Don't worry, they will be putting us on a hose pipe ban very soon!!!

Hull's on the coast or an estuary, isn't it? Looks like just a high tide to me

Doesn't look too good

I can't remember it raining this hard for this long before - BBC forecast indicates it's set to keep going for a while too.

Ideal Locost weather

Good chance to test underbody water proofing.

No need to water the lawn this week then.

bad here too. it took me 35 mins to get home from work. I only work 2 mile away lol. every bloody road is flooded.

thank god i live on a hill - except i have a stream flowing through my garage!

Ooh can I have some of that please?

Its 42c here in Budapest and I think I'm going to melt.

There are some advantages to living in the driest part of the country (East Anglia). Average annual rainfall 20 - 22 inches, officially categorised as semi-desert.

Still peeing down a bit now and again - and a house in the village got hit by lightning last week - but 30 minutes after each downpour the roads are dry again!

(and we haven't had a hosepipe ban for years - they know how to look after their water round here!)

anybody know how York got on? My home town (a long time ago)

Dunno, York has a history of flooding though, seen some very sad sights today that makes you realise how lucky we are at times..........

We have a river running down the road, some have one flowing through there house, not nice.

I remember being of pre school age and hitting a flooded River Foss on the Huntington Road at night in a mini cooper, and before you all start it was my Dad driving

was in york yesterday,it seemed ok not to high,but signs that it had been the previous week were evident.

I have seen Cliffords Tower as a virtual island due to flooding

Just arrived home after a day trying to stop the flood waters filling the factory and I find I now have a fully floating floor in the living room.
everywhere around this area is under at least six inches of smelly water.
Just putting the sofa and telly on the dining table and thats all I can do untill the water goes.
At least the cars are in a safe place

They dont call me Kipper for nowt,
Splish splash to you all.
Kipper.

any idea how bad it is in gypsyville, hu3? I have a house there rented out

and the insurance ran out 10 days ago...

Sorry joelp. Idont know if that area has been hit but I can tell you that I have a pal who lives in Pickering road who has lost all his Koy carp when his garden flooded and that is just across the park from Gypsyville.
Generaly the whole of Hull is very bad.
Good luck and get the insurence renewed.

it is somewhat depressing that i had 5 missed calls of the tenant today

as an aside, do you know anyone to do flat roofs?! Its leaking! lol

Pretty depressing stuff!

Peeps, just as a warning to those who may need to drive in such conditions - bear in mind that 4" of water moving at 20-25 mph will wash your car off the road.

Yep, four inches of water!

Few years back when York flooded, we were doing the heating system at a farmhouse B&B place, the builders on the job, father and son, had a caravan that got flooded, so they waded out to retrieve some stuff, next day they both fell seriously ill , the dad slipped into a coma and died, some nasty stuff to be found in flood water
bit like swimming in shi#e.
