FLOODS

[lawrawrrr]

Everyone on my facebook is posting about the floods. I know they're all over the UK but I thought I'd share some of the pics I've seen...

These are from aberystwyth (ma uni town)... we've had about 20 emails today saying BE CAREFUL and that they're extending leases (all uni accommodation is meant to end tomorrow)

loads of my friends are kinda stranded... awkward.

There's been floods in dorset and other places, anyone else seen anything bad?? It's sunny here atm!!

It's sunny here atm, not really had bad rain. The only rain we encountered was Thursday night on way back from the coast. That is bad :o.

Never get floods here, although it does seem to rain for an eternity at times. Rained for the past 2 days non-stop and was quite windy, but no floods in my area xD

[Mikey]

Bloody hell! In Scotland it's just usual weather it's either decent or raining. Hope everyone down south is alright - stay safe.

No floods here but it was raining all through the night and continued into the morning for sure. Those pictures look quite bad though :(

[dirrty]

never floods here, luckily. and i live at the bottom of a cul-de-sac which could easily flood really, so i'm grateful nothings never happened.

this thread reminds me of my dream last night about flooding in australia...weird

[Jayke]

That first picture looks fantastic.

people are actually able to move now, but it looks like the seafront houses might actually be a bit ruined, sucks for people who are renting there....

there are some amazing pictures, one this morning brought a tear to my eye (of an old couple hugging in the debris of their house)

update: loads of houses+shops have been ruined, but everyone's slowly cleaning up

the estate agent even set up an emergency donation centre (they're not jsut an estate agents, they're like samaritans i swear, you can go in there for a chat and a cuppa tea!)

hope everyone is ok D:
no floods here but the weather is awful.

[Samantha]

Just been on news that some parts of my county have had floods, found it shocking as again we only got heavy rain a bit last night. Been raining on and off today though, shocking :(.

[Chris]

It looks terrible :( Not had much rain here, just a bit of drizzle really.

Agreeing here Mikey! :D Where I live i'll never get floods cause the town is on a hill or whatever! :)

[Mark]

For once Scotland has better weather than you lot, no floods here and it didn't rain today

[Jordan]

We didnt get any floods this time which is unusual! Although the winds from Thursday and Friday caused powercuts around my area and trees to fall down. I heard my Auntie is around that welsh place that got bad flooding but I don't know where abouts or how close she was. It did sound really bad though :(
