One single flood drop can destroy a house foundation.

Its fucking word play you filthy retard.

Factually incorrect READ A BOOK FOR ONCE

You should dig a moat

Hope you don't lose too much.

Well. It sucks. But what are your plans right now?

Save your shoes. Cause they will smell bad if they get wet.

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.

What the fuck are you a fucking peasant?

I had to wade through waist-deep water with boots on

I think it's too late

Well. It sucks. But what are your plans right now?

Go home and sort shit out

The living room is up a couple stairs so I don't know if the water reached it. If it only got the cellar, then aside from.checking the electricity and boiler, it should be alright. We got everything out and upstairs that wasn't airtight or a freezer, so there shouldn't be too much damage. All the electrics from.downstairs are currently sitting on my bed, so there probably won't be a big loss of stuff. Just a need of redecorating.

No permanent damage. Still water in the cellar, but nothing hit the living room. Fuse box wasn't hit but the boiler got soaked with river water. But loads of people who do stuff like electrics and plumbing are offering free services for those affected, so it should be fine.

All in all, we got a lucky break here. There's still entire regions where the power grid failed, so I could definitely be worse off.

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

Does this shit happen to you every year?

West Yorkshire, actually. The storm hit much further south than anticipated. So Cumbria didn't get much this time around, but we got the full thing and weren't prepared. A fuck ton of bridges got btfo'd though. Entire towns sealed off kind of thing.

As I understand it, the water has moved downriver and York is getting hit next, so that's where the evacuation is now.

I'm glad you got so lucky!!!

Also there's a video on facebook of a guy who went swimming in the local cricket club. Water was pretty deep.
