    Im so sorry to hear this. Honestly Ive been watching the flood coverage and thinking how awful it all was. And now suddenly it feels more personal.

    Update.
    The level in their house had finally dropped below floor level but my son says the outside is like a fish farm. This is after three weeks of flooding.
    The salon is still under water but they have at last managed to get in and start with the clean up.
    Looking at the pictures its a right mess.

    Capney, it must be difficult for them to know where to start after this sort of devastation. I wish them well and hope they manage to get things back to normal very soon.
