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).

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!

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.

SubTig	Posted - 2007.07.20 18:02:00 - [31] The local Councils should be supplying sandbags. But if the water is that bad, the best thing you can do is it let it in. Holding back the water puts extra pressure on the outside walls and could cause extensive damage to your house. Get everything upstairs, and turn of the power and phone your insurence company. Sub

Kollgorholl Gallente PURE Legion Pure.	Posted - 2007.07.21 05:59:00 - [39] The weather over the past month has been really really concerning actually. I live down in Cornwall, my house is about 400 feet above sea level with a gentle slope from where I am out towards the cliffs a mile or so away so no real chance of flooding, but the rain.. last week was ok but for the two weeks before it it rained every single day sometimes only for a short period of time but it did rain every day and it has been the same this week. It's actually raining right now as I write this. It's really bizarre. I feel awful for the people who are really getting the worst of the flooding though, there's just no let up in this weather for them to get their homes sorted again.

Just to cover myself a bit here, the CPS have said that no charges are to be brought and I'm sure the allegations were completely unfounded. cough My only suffering from the floods was an extra 10 minute wait for my train home from Cardiff. Didn't envy the people trying to get to London - waiting for hours to get home isn't the best way to end a week.

So clearly no change of government policy. Also, David Cameron said that the Government last year made cut backs in funding for flood defences. That's why, even though the councils had a week's foreknowledge that this would happen, they were unable to cope.

Don't know personally though. Thats all Ive been getting of Sky TBH, Guess I'll trade the tent in for a dingey Yeah, Sky News was saying on Friday that Stratford Upon Avon was one of the worst hit places that day. I went to Stratford a few years ago and there's lots of canals running through the town so I imagine it's still flooded. You could always try phoning up a tourist information centre either in the area or local to you. Or even the Environment Agency (0845 988 1188).

Apparently the place where I and the ex-Mrs Afterthought used to live is underwater, and her new flat is expected to be flooded soon. White (sea?) horse and shining armour are set on stand by.

Lance Hawke Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2007.07.23 17:02:00 - [74] The water on my street came ALMOST up over the curb due to one blocked drain, and i had to jump over a puddle after i go out of my car. Oh noes :( Town on a hill = win.
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2007.07.23 20:10:00 - [75] Our drains are coping reasonably well near Bournemouth - at one point a few days ago the road was covered in a few inches of water, but it subsided in a couple of hours. It's just as well we repeatedly complained to the council & the water company a few years ago - neither wanted to take responsibility, but in the end we got about 200ft of new drains put in along our street. ------ Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant tanking
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.23 20:33:00 - [76] Apparently the water is still rising in parts of Gloucestershire and Warwickshire despite the rain having eased off, due to the water draining gradually into the rivers. They've had their water cut off, and in many places their power. Some parts could be without drinking water for up to 3 weeks --------

Cmdr Sy Appetite 4 Destruction	Posted - 2007.07.23 22:03:00 - [79] For future reference, you can get sandbags from builders' merchants, but it's too late for that now, and the emergency services will quickly have the lot anyway. Best thing to do is to always have some around if you own a house on a floodplain. Gloucester area infrastructure is going to take weeks to fully repair. The difference between best and worst case scenarios is whether the custom 1970s electronics that runs those places survives or doesn't. Good luck with that. Logoffs

Heh, irritating thing is that we're not on a flood plain here. As far as I know theres never been a flood like this on record, in our area. Honestly didn't think to prepare for that kind of thing --------
