With the heavy flooding in the UK now, I was glad to finally see a map of the affected areas. I'm also glad to say that many of my friends are alright there but am a little disturbed about the places where they have flood warnings. I notice that Shrewsbury is on that list which is somewhere that I visited a number of times. With the river running pretty much through the centre of town, it'd be pretty messy.

I hear that the rain isn't letting up and that there are two more months of it in the forecast. It must be sheer pandemonium. People's houses and possessions are being damaged and there appears that there won't be access to fresh water for two weeks in some places.

I hope that everyone out there I know is taking care. It looks like M might be having a bit of trouble and I'm wondering how things are on the canal in front of the place in Fron.

I guess this puts our little stint with rain here in perspective. We may not have had a lot of sun this summer but at least we aren't struggling with the flooding here like they are in England.

hi .It has rained here at sometime during a 24hr period for 70 days.I am surprised it has taken this long to flood.It looks like the cuts in funding to the environment agency over the last ten years have come back to bite the governments arse.ie no dredgeing of rivers.
The canal was pretty high but we are lucky where we are theres really not much chance of flooding but some of the low lying parts are having a nightmare and will be without water for two weeks.
