I have electricity again! The 40-odd thousand around me have just lost it again though, so I'm assuming the emergency generator up the road is keeping our street going for now. Another day of this and I think society will completely collapse in this area. People are just wandering around in a daze. If we ever have a proper disaster, we're fucked. Anyway, pie and chips for me. My first hot meal in days! |

Registered 8 years agoWell America is experience a weird weather christmas.
A jet stream as funnelled it way through the country, splitting it in two. New York will have a warmer christmas than LA and could reach the same temperature as recorded on July 4th.

Registered 12 years agoSo, now it's Lancashire and Yorkshire's turn - there's some really horrifying devastation going on today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35181139
My family and I lost our house and the majority of our belongings in the recent Cumbria floods - we were in Kendal - so I wish any EGers affected by the floods today all the best luck and love.
Stay safe and warm. -
The level of the river outside my flat has broken records today..
https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/8061
.. the road's shut, the underground car park is sandbagged and all the usual features around the river (the weir, islands, etc. have vanished). Came back early from the folks and missed Boxing Day eating to make sure I could actually get back. -

Registered 12 years agoSevere flood warnings in my area again. It's been pissing it down non stop for about a day and a half now. Hopefully we won't have another blackout! -

Registered 17 years agoGlad I moved to the top of the valley this year. Wandered down the hill to Saltaire, the park is a lake, the pub there is underwater. My old apartment complex has heavily flooded, cars completely submerged, and the substation is about to go under too so they'll be without power very soon. -

Registered 17 years agoMy sympathies to those being affected by the flooding, hope you come out safe and without losing all your stuff.
Sorry to hear what happened to you Bob, that's horrible -
No real danger of us getting trapped in our flat totally, but our car is trapped in the basement car park behind some flood doors that have about 6 foot of water the other side of them. Was meant to be at the in-laws tonight eating delicious meats. Some serious pumping is going to have to happen when the waters start to get lower, but right now they're still rising. -
Well it's been raining here everyday for at least two months. I'm not even exaggerating, we usually get more rain here cause of the mountains but it's getting ridiculous. And it's a good job I live on a mountain.
If this is the new annual event, a lot of peoples' lives are going to be made hell. -

Registered 20 years agoThere were tornadoes on Xmas eve, folks killed.
We did t get tornadoes here but it rained Biblically. Combined with crazy high temps and it was a most bizarre Xmas.
I live on a mountain. Two f the three roads up it were washed out and the one open was crazy backed up. For a moment I though I'd be spending Xmas off the mountain; when I picked up my daughter and headed up I started to encounter closed roads. -
We had serious case of frog raining on us over here in Netherlands, I make soup of them, no tomatos tho, still worried of end of times, need more prepsoup -

4:18 in the morning and it's 19 C out. We have had some very fucked up weather. -
At least 2 days to get our car park clear and the car out, probably more like 4 days and maybe 7 days. #paininthearse -

Registered 13 years agoMy house is leaking in several places. Had the back of the house re-rendered two years ago after the last time this happened - fortunately that part seems watertight, it's the front now, in particular the flat-roofed front porch and our bedroom ceiling.
Not going to get flooded out though (live on a hillside) so it could be worse. -
All fixed now

It's funny how they keep going on about solutions and mitigation in the news. Some bloke was even talking about putting houses on stilts! It's massive amounts of water, it doesn't matter what you do, if half the country is next to rivers the only long term solution is to move!
