Omg EC ...that really is bad 
We had a flash flood recently - it looked just like the link.
It must be the wettest on record, surely

Thanx Baz 
We're not as bad as EC for sure âĶ lots of rain though
Lollipop bay tree blew off our steps and cracked the glazed pot 
It could be worse - no flooding here - yet

Well, it stopped raining overnight and it's been bright today with a short spell of rain, nothing to write home about. The cleanup seems to be going well, although traffic is slow, it's gradually getting back to where it should be.

Fingers crossed you don't get it Sainty. I'm just wondering what winter has in store this/next year!
The rainfall figures say something.
âAssuming it's now stopped raining for a while, we recorded 74.1mm of rainfall in Sheffield for the last 24 hours. To put that into context, the average rainfall for November is 79mm,â a post on the weather stationâs Twitter account said".

At its peak, the rain last night fell at over 9mm in an hour. The rainfall for Sheffield's autumn 2019 currently stands at 414.4mm - our second-highest on record.â
Paul Hudson, the weather presenter for BBCâs Look North, added: âThursday is now the wettest November day on record in Sheffield with 74.1mm, beating the previous set in 2000.â
Weather data has been recorded in Weston Park since 1882, making it one of the longest-running stations in the country.

I'm very good thanks Machel. I' lucky as I live on the second floor of an apartment block reasonable high up a hill. It's all looking better now.
Not too far from me - this was 2012 - those flats were demolished - people were not allowed back in to collect their belongings.
Some were not insured
