Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted December 5, 2015 Did someone say it's been/is raining? View from the decking. Up the lane. Only way in and out. Has been worse. A few years ago you couldn't see any grass. Neighbours place across the green opposite us. Her drains run across a field into a gutter, or ditch, that runs out to the marsh. That's full, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted December 5, 2015 Had to go down to eldest daughters place earlier with sand bags. Water was getting through her back door. Her place is down a lonning with a stream passing under at the bottom. Over flowing it of course and they can't get their cars out. Didn't pose a problem for the Disco. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocboni 257 #9 Posted December 6, 2015 We have had many main roads between towns closed,of course you get the idiots who ignore the signs attempt it and get stuck, one car got swept away but luckily got stuck against a wall and the fire service rescued them. Below a the river tweed, normally there is about 150 feet of grass between the garden walls and the river banking! In the distance is floors castle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #10 Posted December 6, 2015 Jonathan will be ok. His place is high up and on the side of a hill. Will have been a bit breezy though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocboni 257 #11 Posted December 6, 2015 I'm ok jedburgh is a set in a valley, we live on the top so if I get flooded I think we all need to start worrying! The wind is terrible though, ripped the felt of one of the sheds so been out nailing a tarp over it, hard going with the wind still blowing! 2 Triumph66 and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #12 Posted December 6, 2015 People down here been moaning about the weather but frankly when they see the news tonight they will see that we had hardly anything to worry about. Just pleased that I live on a hill overlooking the River Teign....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
