Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.20 14:39:00 - [1] How's everyone holding up? Looks like its another serious one today. Most of my town (Swindon) seems to have stopped dead for the day. All the roads are gridlocked, trains are all cancelled, the motorway is closed (and according to some, parts of it have been washed away), half the town's power is out, and rumour has it my GF's family's house may be flooded under a foot of water. That'd be "O****". Anyone else being affected? PS: Anyone know where you buy sandbags? --------
Mangala Solaris Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.07.20 14:51:00 - [2] Sounds horrid. Hope you get through it. Up here in Lancashire, - well my part at least - it seems fine, no flooding, not much rain at the moment. Re Sandbags - try B&Q? ------- NPC Corpers go to Fanfest
Guvnor RBM Welsh Commanders 3asy Company	Posted - 2007.07.20 14:56:00 - [3] Had some real heavy rain last night on the Island, but I live on top of hill and have a 4x4 so sod the poor sods down below, No flooding here yet, but over the other side Llandefni has had some I think
ry ry StateCorp The State	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:01:00 - [4] I work in swindon. that makes me and Patch86 practically brothers. the GF just texted me to tell me i'm stranded. :(
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:04:00 - [5] It does look that way. What with the no motorway, trains or busses, anyone trying to leave town is gonna have a hard time of it today. I'd ask where abouts you work, but thats far too personal for a virtual internet spaceship forum --------

I'm in Wales (north coast) and it's fine(ish) here. Heavy rain but no flooding in my little part. Not sure about the rest of North Wales though. I've been watching all of this on Sky News at work. So far Berkshire and Lincolnshire are the worst hit. Parts of London are flooded too. More rain is due the next few days too (the worst of it later tonight after midnight according to Sky News).

Angelsey as a few patches of flooding, but we always do, When I first moved here I thought there was a lake next to the A55, it was a field...
Admiral Shallow Gallente Shadow KnighT Productions	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:10:00 - [8] Im living in Warrington no flooding happend here all through this really messed up weather.. There been flooding in Gloucester, dunno if thats near Swindon.. Below this text is my signature... BTW You Suck
DgO4 Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:13:00 - [9] i live in swindon (well just outside of it in Highworth). ITS BAD! very very bad, theres a underpass not far from me for that goes under the road and is 12ft high for people to walk under and its completely full to the top. Roads are falling apart cuz of the drains are overflowing. The sewage works not so far from me is completely under water. my backgarden patio is a lake and the water from that is flowing through my garage. If it gets any higher its going to come into the house. Atm the police have said not to travel anywhere but if you have to take care. Ive never ever seen it this bad. The rain started at 11pm last night with thunderstorms and its 4pm now and it hasnt stopped since. I will take some pics of my backgarden. We are the pilgrims, Master, We will always go a little farther.....
Mtthias Clemi Gallente Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:16:00 - [10] Tunbridge Wells here (kent) Basically one massive hill, the rain was insane here before, we looked out of our window just in time to see the fancy spotlights outside our 6th form short out! No flooding here though,never is! Unlucky patchy boy! -------------------------------------------- Stay away from my signature all of ya!!! IM WARNING YOU!! PEW PEW PEW PEW!
Leilani Solaris Gallente 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:18:00 - [11] Thankfully i live on a hill. It hasn't stopped raining here since last night and it's been pretty heavy all the time.. Outbreak Killboard

If it was me in that situation I'd start moving any valuables and little bits of furniture upstairs (and electrical goods). Lots of train services in England are out too, especially round the south-east and out of London. First Great Western and Virgin Trains mostly (again according to Sky News). It sounds pretty bad actually; I've never seen the UK this flooded before and we've had some pretty bad floods here in the last 10 years.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.20 15:31:00 - [13] Just spoke to my GF's mum- their house is not under a foot of water. It is under 3 foot of water. Waste high. Ouch. Thankfully my house is on top of a hill, so the flooding hasn't breached the perimeter quite yet. But my garden is still under a couple of inches, and all my drains are backed up. Me dad who works in the town centre is stuck there, so it looks like he'll be in for an hour's walk in the rain. At least he's got an umbrella... --------

Joseph 9 Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.07.20 16:16:00 - [16] I tried to take a half day today and had to give up after an hour of trying because I was unable to get more than 1 mile from my office without hitting a flooded road. The firebrigade seem to have pumped clear a few roads now so I managed to get home. It only took me 1 hr 15 minutes to drive 10 miles. I can cycle it in 40 minutes. Reckon I could run it in around 2 hours. What larks. Well at least a) I'm home and b) I live on a hill.

Aristotle's nightmarish vision of dystopian future is nothing compared to that.

And do you really think being put in a cage with a hot female and told to mate is really a dystopian vision?! I call that paradise!

DgO4 Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.20 17:21:00 - [27] w00t! suns out, water didnt make it into the house which is great. Just that our fridge and freezer may have been damaged and all the food is defrosting which aint no biggie. So far so good, looks like i'll make it out to the cinema 2nite and watch the transformers advanced showing. We are the pilgrims, Master, We will always go a little farther.....

Kyozoku Mutiny.	Posted - 2007.07.20 17:43:00 - [30] There's no flooding where I live. It's disappointing because I like the idea of nipping to the shop in a dingy.
