Update on the flooding in the UK

I pray that all will be well for you my UK family.

Thank you for these Shanon..I am lucky not to have been affected, although we have had alot of rain and more to come this weekend....I feel for these poor people..my washing machine burst a pipe a few years back and flooded out ground floor, that was clean water, but still took us a month or so to get everything sorted, these people have such a job of clearing up, it will take some people over a year to get back in their houses.....I too hope all my family here and in the USA are safe and well...

CRIKEY CROCS RULE!!

Those floods are quite scary, we are keeping a close eye on the River Thames as our house is on a flood plain, at the moment we are alright. The worst we had it was a few years ago when it burst it's banks and a 140 houses were affected, and that was just 1/2 mile from where we are.

Hope everyone is alright.
