    floods

    WHo's been affected and how?

    Most of the main roads in my town are now closed.
    A nearby town has had areas evacuated.

    and buses may not be running meaning i may have to walk home through flooded areas

    of maybe i'll get a taxi

    We had a couple of roads washed out but theres plenty of alternatives thankfully. It's worse than snow though because most people have the..it's only a bit of rain attitude.. as they float away into a field

    Floods? Really humid here in Germany and my ex-housemate (from Athens) is just talking to me on msn, he says it's 43c there in Athens! Crazy England.

    Its been raining here nearly non stop, but luckily no major flooding yet, just watching the forecast now, and its going to be the same for a while, with increased winds! Terrific!

    I have a small swimming pool for a back garden and a small pond for a drive And yet go 100 metres round the corner and the main road into my street is flooded!

    Been constant here all day in York. Took the mum in law 3 n half hours to get from Chester to here this morning because the M62 was flooded in parts!

    Crazy weather
