Well that pretty much covers all the rivers near me! Can someone wake me up when summer arrives?

Dont even need to be by a river it seems! Got stranded in 3' of water (got a foot of it inside the car!)in the Volvo in London today! Car was being floated down the street at one stage!

Apparently my route out of Oxford is closed because of flooding, loads of houses near here have lost electricity and there's plenty more rain to come. Pub anyone?

 

This is getting crazy.

Never seen anything like it mate the roads were just like rivers! I drove into the deepest bit I could and wondered why the car cut out! Will I never learn!! So used to having 4wd and a high ground clearance I suppose! Cars trashed!

 

Felt more sorry for all the people with damage to their houses though.

Was this around Mitcham Budgie? I remember that the 'dip' just by Colliers Wood tube station used to flood now and again, and I never saw rain like this when I lived there. Bet the tubes are in a right state, especially with the Bakerloo line strike today. Londoners, I feel for you - good luck

 

And sorry to hear about your car Budgie, what a nightmare.

 

EDIT: just had a look on the tube website and Colliers Wood and Tooting Broadway stations are indeed closed due to flooding, plus there are lots of other closures and disruptions. On a Friday too...

You can send that rain to our country any time you want, gents. We have wildfires out West almost too many to count. Little to no rain here in our part of NC and that which used to be green is now varying shades of brown.

 

Budgie, sorry to hear about your car but glad you were alive and able to post.
