Untrue, it was me doing my laundry which did it, I can almost guarantee that if I put it outside even if the sky is blue it will rain. If I was employed to do it in a drought stricken area it would never stop raining  ;D

I can make it rain by just pretending to get my bar-bey out !

Getting back to the subject of water, there are still severe flood warnings in those areas of Yorkshire and Derbyshire so badly affected in the last 24 hrs. I reckon flood insurance cover will go up sky high in price, and it would be well nigh impossible to sell one of those properties. :o

my sister lives in an area the river Don runs through , she's just sent me videos and pics of the lanes/roads near her house completely awash , fortunately her little village is safe for now but is unable to get out . High tide on the Don is about 17:30 hours  near her place so they're a bit nervouse !

Hopefully it will be precautionary and all will be well - better to be safe though.

Hopefully when the tide turns water levels will fall

At times like this, I'm glad I live at the top of as hill. I've seen minor flooding in Hemel Town centre sand Boxmoor, but I don't think people's houses are ever affected - it's usually fields and the common.

This is quite scary, and the distance won't help..again hoping they get it under control.

ive told her to forget the house and just get out of there if there is any risk at all
Apparently a barn burnt down yesterday in their suburb so I'm guessing danger could be close
