Dave, MG, Stanters, you all still alive?

The shocking pictures and reports coming out of Cumbria this morning show the devastating effects of yesterday's severe rainfall event in northwest England, and unconfirmed figures now suggest that around 314mm (12.5 inches) of rain fell in 24 hours in Seathwaite - which if confirmed would be a new record for the British Isles.

The flooding that has occurred really is on an extraordinary scale with bridges washed away, hundreds of properties flooded and utility services disrupted. With much of the rain that fell still to filter through the river systems, further extensive flooding is expected today. Flooding has also affected parts of southwest Scotland and Wales, and there are flood warnings out for many areas.

Effing rain!!!

I doubt dave saw the rain.


Seriously, hope you guys are ok!

It's not that bad my way - but MG and co in the North West have been hit hard. I'm in the equivalent of New Orleans and those guys Seattle to give you an idea in the US.

Hang in there. We had 18 inches in 36 hours about 2 months ago, and it was insane. Everything flooded, and no records show it ever being like that. Called it a 1,000 year flood.
