After 2 days of rain, I decided that this photo was more appropriate than one from my workshop yesterday. This is Duloe Brook, which floods regularly, but doesn't usually affect the houses. The Brook is very fast flowing, and has overflowed its banks, but I doubt if it will rise any higher.
I am not so sure I would fancy this outside my house. Even though you say the houses are safe I wouldn't trust the water. In Queensland they have had two 'once in a hundred year' floods in the last 12 months.
Great shot and thanks for taking the trouble of taking it. I wouldn't feel relaxed if I lived in one of those houses and seeing the water rising and don't know when it will stop.
