Flooding again by happypat

Flooding again

Rain, rain & more rain!
Harry & I went to Longridge this morning, swooshing through all the floods.
No main line trains going north from London to Glasgow & no traffic on the A6 through Galgate to Lancaster.
Luckily the river bank held its banks at St. Michaels this time.

Three good things:
1. Emergency services pumping out again.
2. I cleaned the deepfreeze out & got rid of two large bags of ice cubes left over from the summer. I bought far too many bags for our party. Gone next door to the Fizz & Flute van.
3. Really enjoying A Column of Fire the third in the Kingsbrudge series by Ken Follet. Such a cruel period of history, the torture was horrendous! Hanging was the kindest way!!

I hope your weather will improve soon!

How horrible -- you can never know how deep the water is as you glide forward -- but a great photo opportunity !!

That looks scary, but great picture. We get a ton of rain, like 100 inches a year, so the ground here absorbs it like a sponge. Not too much flooding but when it happens it happens on a large scale

A dramatic shot Pat and Ray was wondering about you when he saw the news.

You would have to wear gum boots (wellingtons) all the time! How depressing to have so much rain! You are brave reading a book like that! One that I would avoid!

Oh dear, what a mess for some people

Sorry I have had to resort to a joint reply. I have been online fir ages trying to buy concert tickets in the pre sale so had to stay on the right page in a queue! We live on a hill, so the rain never bothers us except the misery of watching it fall but so sorry for people with houses & businesses flooded.

We had the torrential rain last night but thankfully no flooding in this area. So sad when it does so much damage! We haven’t even started winter yet!

Wow... that's pretty intense. Stay safe!

Amazing shot. My husband has read the first 2 in the Follett series. I loved Pillars of the Earth but never found the time to read the second. I think I will get him the final one for Christmas.

Glad you are safe - my heart goes out to those who have got flooded, homes and businesses destroyed! It must be heartbreaking

@allie912 It more a stand alone book than the other two although stil based in Kingsbridge two centuries later. Queen Elizabeth 1 etc. You do learn lots of history!

Oh dear hope the floods recede soon. Luckily it doesn't flood where we live, but Morpeth where we went on our walk last week floods quite often.
