For those who can't tell what the picture is, that's a farm that I can see down the street. The river here has burst its banks so that field is currently under 2ft of water (Fpr ypu americlaps who don't know, The North has been experiencing very heavy rain for a few weeks now - it's been raining heavy here since yesterday mornng non-stop)

A couple people nearby have already flooded, so we've moved all the essential stuff up out of the cellar in case water starts dripping in.

I'll probably keep this thread updated until it gets to the point where we have to shut off the electricity. Just thought I'd share my day.

Damn. Best of luck to you.

Thanks.


I'm literally trapped in my house right now, it's getting worse. I'm probably shutting off the electricty in a minute, might be able to post some pictures before I do.


On the bright side, my garden can now be used as a rice field.

Just throw a bunch of tampons into the river.

So, can you get out, or can you literally not 'cause if you open up water is gonna come bursting in? If you can get out, how many directions can you go?

He can probably get out for now. More than likely they've placed sandbags in front of the door.

It was an exaggeration for "The water is knee-deep outside and I'm getting trenchfoot from trying to walk around in it"

Here's a general idea of the layout of the village

To the north, up a hill, is a canal. To the east and south is a big river(it runs around thr village). All the fields around are under and we're at the bottom of a valley. There's only one road out, and that road is unpassable unless you've got an offroader.

Basically, I'm fucked.

If you have an M90 around you should be just fine

Been evacuated by police boat. Luckily, the car was parked uphill so we were able to use it - water was up to the top of my legs and it was bloody cold. Environment agency gave us a flood warning call six hours after the floods started.

Anyway, I'm at my grandmother's house now so I'm alright. Managed to get my laptop out (Priorities sorted there) but I probably won't be able to get home for a couple of days now.

Free indoor pool

Damn, I'm guessing you're around Cumbria then.

Does this shit happen to you every year?

What about your xbl friend? You know, the guy that sounded like Jerry Jaxxon. Is he fine?

The canal burst it's banks upstream and now there's a massive surge of water heading downstream AKA the worst is yet to come AKA rest in pepperoni my house

damn

The rain is just as bad here, many parts of the town flooded, but luckily I live on a hill so only the peasants will drown.

You should set a house that will definitely get flooded on fire and place bets.

There we go, two ways to make money out of this ordeal. Think about it, people will be jobless, but there'll be a need to sit down and watch something get destroyed in two ways, but to get there you need to travel by boat.

Seize the moment; build your empire. You can start off with employing your friends, then go on to strangers until you don't have to work anymore.

The fields near my house were flooded this past week as well. The ñīñõ ďõēšñť mē§§ ãřõūñď
