Using this picture which was taken at 20:30 (as too dark now) it is now an hour later and the water is at the base of the washing line you can see. How fucking quick has it risen  Sad So all that grass in front of the washing line has disappeared in the last hour  :?

After 2 hours on the 419 I finally reached the road behind Asda 5 mins from my house. But it was closed forcing an hour detour back onto Thamesdown drive...........

My day is now complete. After being sent all round Swindon thanks to road closures, Mrs Batch and Batch Jr abondon the car and needed assistance to cross the flooded road that goes from sparcells into thamesdown drive.

Here is the flood I had to piggy back Jr across:

The problem is its still raining here and the water level is rising rapidly, I think our house is now in real danger, which is shocking baring in mind it has never got within 20 metres of the house before. almost lost the driveway out the front now so my house is basically an island at the moment I guess  Sad

Shouldn't you be doing something to prepare, instead of posting on a forum??

My lady's folk's place in Minety is now underwater. We left at about noon to get back to London before the motorways were flooded and as we left the stream up the side of the house was rising VERY quickly.

They's been living in chaos for the last 2 months as the water tank in the loft blew up flooding most of the house. After waiting 6 weeks for everything to dry out, the new floors and walls were finished this week. Now the water has come up and it's all going to start again. Luckily the carpet and furniture wasn't in yet but the kitchen, garage and new floors and walls will all be buggered.

Another few weeks of fans and dehumidifiers (noisy buggers they are too) then rip it all up and start again!
