One person has already died where I live and officials have now called a state of emergency!!

All the roads near where I live are flooded. Three quarters of my road has been barriered off by police and I had to drive through about 15 inches of water to get home.

It is forecast to rain for another 12 hours!!

I have never seen rain like this in my life!!

Where are you? its been chucking it down round here for a few days now but not had that bad flooding, just a few really big puddles [rofl]

**slarceSelia** · 06-25-2007, 11:28 PM

Weird. It's sunny and dry here in Scotland. Give us our rain back! We've got nothing to moan about!

Just really cloudy and cold here in Lincolnshire - why can't global warming hurry up

It should be ok from now on, Glastonbury has ended therefore the crazy downpours should end with it [yes] I blame Glastonbury festival for rain this time of year.

I'm in Hull.

Loads of roads closed around my area (west Hull).

Police and fire brigade everywhere.

People sandbagging their houses, my Wife's aunt's house is under 2 foot of water and they've had to abandon ship!!

Sheffield is fairly crazy too! The rivers have burst their banks http://www.magicrambo.com/pages/shefwebcam.htm < On three of those (Wicker, Sutherland St. and the other Sutherland St) it's fairly obvious. Also, people are trapped inside Meadowhell (the Don burst and flooded the area) in a sort of Dawn of the Dead scenario

Top that off with an explosion and two major fires and it's been an interesting day.

Drought here in the Midwest.

My brown yard and dry garden would happily accept your excess rain.

**hoconnor6605** · 06-26-2007, 04:03 AM

Hehe, you think thats bad, there was an F3 Tornado in north yorkshire yesterday

**sitescools** · 06-26-2007, 04:11 AM

**sauppyshurb** · 06-26-2007, 04:13 AM

couldn't get my normal way to work today as it was flooded, had to detour and took me an extra 25mins to get in

going home i had to take the only route into my village which involved going to the next town

**amotoustict** · 06-26-2007, 04:20 AM
