The river Wye today – hope all the Welsh CasualUK mob are staying safe

1. I literally just posted about this — my in-laws are flooded out for the second time in a few years. This after multiple flood mitigation measures including dredging, drainage improvements, and flood barriers installed at all the entrances. The men who are paid to install the flood barriers when there’s a weather warning didn’t show up. My in-laws are too elderly and frail to manage it themselves.

2. The local Recreation Centre has a new outdoor swimming pool where the river Ogmore used to be.

   Going to go for a walk later if the rain eases off and have a nosey.

3. A Welsh river flooded today.

   Wye?

   Probably too much rain.

4. I’m guessing Wales also got hit by snow, then a load of rain.

5. Lived in Ross on Wye in my childhood. The Wye flooding was a very common occurrence.

   It’s awful when it does and I hope no one is hurt

6. At least there are plenty of books to read while you are stuck there.

7. I am.
   Snuggled up, drawing, writing and reading while I hear the rain pitter patter outside.

8. I’m not religious, but I know there is a passage in the bible that says the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the childrens teeth are set on edge. This is what it’s like to live in Worcester. If it rains heavily in the Severn in Wales, we will get flooded a day or two later.
