Its now officailly the wettest month ever for us!

No month on record has ever this much rain fallen.

What happening -
  • Daddy's work is that flooded its now shut and you cant access it, the water is up to the middle of the door and two people had to be rescued last night (only bonus is that he's now off work - hope hes gonna get paid!)
  • Grandpa S owns a travel company and his Garage with all his buses in is like a Island, he has hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of buses/coaches, a business that he's built up from been a young man. He's been down there all night trying to save them, they have air suspensions and he's had them all risen off the ground as high a possible. He has a pit that is full like a swimming pool.
  • Mummy's work is shut, the centre is flooded, the car parks there are reports of cars floating off, the electricity has gone so the shutter couldn't be brought down. (lucky I'm only hols)
  • Lots of my family and friends have lost their power for periods during the night and Auntie L has had no power since 9pm last night. She decided to go to her Mums a few miles away, thankfully she has a big 4wheel drive so got there, she gave me stories of cars stuck in water and people climbing out of sun roofs.
  • Ulley Reservoir (The Rude Ungrateful Ducks Story) has burst its banks, fire & rescue are trying to stop it, if it actually goes all surrounding areas will be under water, the power station at the side of the M1 will go and we will prob loose power, Whiston, Treeton, Canlkow & CATCLIFFE!
  • We have never been flooded but i have just seen a council lorry come down our road as i type this post, with sandbags! The rain has stopped for now but they water is still rising!

I am watching the news continuously and its scary shit!!!!
