Bottom of the Village

Stopped by the bridge to take some snaps in between storms today.



That's the North side of the village.

 

East side is not much better off.

 

Sorry, but I had to giggle at Water Street This doesn't look too good though! Is it subsiding or getting worse?

 

Wow! That's a lot of water.

 

Water Street made me smile too, should have took a pic down it, as I drove away I saw that was flooded too.

Getting Worse. Had the most horrendous rain today, sort that instantly overloads gutters.

Muchelney, village up the road is totally cut off and the rescued a woman that had been cut off for 13 days from Curry Moor.

My veg plot has water puddling on the top. Nothing so strange about that you might think, but its a raised bed

 

Thanks for the update Ziggy. I think there's more to come tonight but due to calm down on Wednesday.
In USA, the cold has spread quite far down south and it is worrying crop growers.
Are we all getting hyped up and paranoid or are our Winters getting more extreme?

Is it worse than in 2012?

The BBC were filming there (as close as they could get) at first light this morning.

 

I heard a report about that on the BBCNews channel this afternoon. I think it was the same woman, she was rescued with her dog.

 

The roads not flooded today, but it was a few days back & probably will be again soon.

 

The place in the distance is the old water mill, it's workshops now, no one lives there

 

Dreadful for the folk who are flooded or even homeless. Houses take ages to dry out and the contamination is a major issue.
Water Street ..that is a honest sign.

 

It's no better here either.

This Afternoon, the River Frome is somewhere here!


One of the roads into Wareham, closed as it is two feet deep, the guy with the dog on the pavement. turned back.

 

And all the water heads for the valleys, I'm thinking of digging a big moat around the house to keep the water from getting to near
