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

[dave.gsi]

i didnt actually reaslise how bad its been till i just saw the news then:eek:

parts of sheffeild i think it was, waist deep.

no probs round here as far as i know and its been pouring down all day

[joff-turbo-nova]

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.
