Hunkering down and trapping myself in!

No getting away from this in my area, it seems...

I got some pallets outside, thinking of making a raft!

Lol... Will it hold that much rain?

i would warn my friend but hes always so snarky "ill be fine i've been in worse" so not gonna even bother this time.

Mhmm... mine are the same...

i have to drive wednesday night.

Well, theres my b/day plans down the spout! Literally....

Damn look at ventusky model!
we get another heavy hit on friday.

I know it's a model so let's hope it's wrong!
Otherwise ???

Ok building pallet raft now!

Oops correction! I was looking at wind gust speeds on friday and not precipitation!
So we get heavy rain wednesday and heavy winds friday!

Great lol

Wind gusts friday

Can you pin?
We don't get alerts here in UK!
We only know it's flooding when then water reaches our pillows :)
By which time ...
Who's prepped for that lol really?
waking up in water!
Well I am :)

Ok... for the alerts

Live at the top of a hill.

I r smart.

THE REASON THAT SO MANY UK RIVERS ARE TURNING INTO INLAND LAGOONS IS BECAUSE THAY ARE NOT DREDGED ANYMORE ROUTINELY AND FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY.


All UK rivers like Bridgenorth, Worcester and Bewdley were inland ports. The only reason that twee cottages and settlements could exists was because of the routine dredging and maintainence.


Heavy rain has always been a constant, so what has changed???


Basic lack of maintainence that allowed these inland communities to flourish. THAT IS IT!

Thanks for the pin :)
Most in the Uk will be sleeping now but this thread will be relevant for what's coming!

Dredging, NOT changes in weather patterns.

Yup good plan but not easy to do in a few days lol!
and then you are more likely to be struck by lightning :)

2nd most intense storm in the North Atlantic ever: All-time-lowest pressure on record for a North Atlantic storm

This is some comfy doom considering what's going on in the world. Complaining about the weather is like the national sport here, so this will be fine.

Thing is it's a global thing!
I have know idea on what's causing it but it's getting worse..

Happy B day, mine is Monday.

Well, actually, we've had warnings of danger to life as we're about to receive 1 months worth of rain in 1 day, up and down the UK... the southern parts of UK being affected mostly, I bet...

That's pretty drastic and hazardous, if you ask me...

That's without the mention of the extreme high winds and freezing weather on top of all the rain...

It's going to be one hell of a ride this one!... or is that one hell of a float down the streams?

Thank you! Mines Tuesday... not celebrating it much by the looks of things ...

Wishing you the best for yours though! :-)... if you are celebrating, have one for me!

Maybe, but say that to all these affected here:

Then add another round of heavy rain and wind = ?
I'm just trying to make folks in the UK things are going to get worse for a week or so...

and supposedly as soon as Dennis pisses off there'll be another fat low pressure system incoming. bah!

might keep people indoors


which actually , currently , isn't a bad thing !

2 birds 1 stone ;)
