I'm ok ta Becky

Water just isn't going away, light drizel all day today & the roads are flooding again. Huge downpour an hour ago and more to come

Stay dry!

Oh, yes. Some advice from a gent who was flooded out: he said to put your birth certificate and other needed documents in a plastic bag in case you need to leave. That way they will not get wet when you step outside.

Another piece of advice for flooding is to move your valuables up to the second floor. If a police officer or firefighter knocks on your door and tells you to evacuate, listen to them. Don't try to ride out a flood at home. Too many people try to do this and end up drowning. Stay safe.

Only got one floor.

The fields are a bit choppy today.

Glad you're doing ok! We had a massive thunderstorm on Saturday, but thankfully it was over quickly and no lightning strikes too close to home!

Flippin' heck, Zigs!
You ok?

 

[zigs]

I watched that track right across the country Becky, think you've had enough of lightning by now

I'm Ok Bees My Village is a bit higher up, can still see the floods from here, this was yesterday afternoon.

 

[headfullofbees]

It's the global cooling to blame.

This weather all over is really crazy. Glad to hear you are ok, Zigs and anyone else that maybe dealing with weather challenges right now. We are still frozen about 20 degrees below normal.

 

[zigs]

Not nice Pat, you stay warm now
