cant ever get a flood where i am so rather lucky!

[Donova]

Im sure itll be ok in a small block. I bet you could dive into the sea and it would struggle to suck in a teaspoonful

Would feed the rust worms though

No floods here I want some big puddles to go through!!! (See Charly fixed!)

no floods here but when i was in devon for the week it did nothing but rain stayed in a caravan and the road to the site was to the top of a astras wheel as hes car conked out in the middle of it to get on the car park by the beach/arcade you had to go under a railway bridge that was about a foot deep car stinks of stail water now

This was my street (well it used to be - more like a river!)



At the top there is a 12 inch deep "lake" ....




And at the bottom going under the bypass its about 3 foot !!!!





Had to navigate through some serious floods today - some to$$er in a 4x4 went blasting past whilst I was mid-lake and the wave went over the bonnet , windscreen and onto the roof (reminded me of the TopGear episode where they make "carboats").

Made it back in one piece - lucky I was in my Vectra - the Nova would have dissapeared in some areas its so low!!!

heard on the news a man drowend in a drain not sure how

He was unblocking a main drain , lifted the manhole cover , then slipped / got pushed by the water into the hole and got his leg jammed in a metal grate.

Fire & ambulance were there about 3 hours however due to volume of water couldn't get to him, I think he actually died of hypertheria, not drowning.

Theres a good pic of the road just round the corner from where I was working today :-



Notice the water is halfway up the side of the shop fronts! And the road dips under the bridge - probably about 10 ft deep under the bridge.
