    Where I live it's Belgium. So, no, no floods.

    My Folks live right next to the Thames and are OK so far, but expected to flood tomorrow as it all moves downstream.

    Their house is raised by about 3 feet precisely so the river can flood underneath it, but they still have to park the car miles away, empty the garage, move animals out of the garden etc

    Pics of their house in flood in January 2003 here:

    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    Not been directly affected but I've had three devs call in this week, most around the Beds area, some localised flooding there affecting the roads.

    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    We have a river running through the bottom of our village, luckily the village is built on top of a hill.
