I know i'm going on and on and on about flooding!

My life is turning in to flood hell! Before i start, no my house hasn't been flooded and everyone is safe!

The sun is out like it never rained, most roads look dry, there is dust and mud everywhere. Both our work places are a disaster, mud, water, sewage and god knows what else! I am on holiday from work this week but needed to see what the damage was. So here goes pictures again - SORRY! Only glad we work for massive company's who the cost of repairs and closure of the business is not really a impact to. (yes most have insurance but not a quick process)

Our repair centre where the floor is normally white!

Our shop floor! (normally wood effect, not mud effect)
Me and the other managers in the get up we had to wear before entering the building, yes we went over the top pulling the huds up!

The rain is due back on Saturday, not good! The dam at Ulley is safe for now thankfully and lets hope its not a down poor like Monday and Tuesday this week, or the clean up wont have been worth doing!

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!!!!

The weather part 3! This is the centre i work in, the tree popping out of the water are in the car parks!

Where is our summer??? Its rained and its rained and its rained!!! VERSION 2!!

This time last year it was 27degrees, today its still raining and its 11degrees. If the rain continues I'm going to have to cancel Billy first birthday party, i couldn't possibly fit everyone invited into my house. Previous post we haven't had this much rain in 50years! Luckily we there isn't much flooding around us but less than 10miles away people are evacuated from their houses and have been for the last couple of weeks. Water would have a long way to go to reach my house, in 2001 our village was flooded really badly.
The picture is a couple of streets away from Daddy's work, taken today at 14:30 on Brightside Lane in Sheffield, I had to go fetch Daddy mid afternoon when his work closed to ensure everyone got home. Quite scary the second car in to the picture, the silver Focus is exactly the same as mine!!!!

Just heard on radio that Rotherham Council have run out of road closed signs, they have closed so many areas! Rotherfm

It's been over a week since youngster Madeleine McCann went missing from an Algarve holiday resort. The four-year-old, from Rothley, Leicestershire, Uk, disappeared from an apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3. Madeleine had been left sleeping with her brother and sister, two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie, while her parents, Gerry and Kate, dined at a nearby restaurant. In the UK at the moment this is the biggest news, as so it should be.
