been raining here all night, its tipping down as we speak being on solid ball clay dosent help but we are at the highest point of the estate, our garden drains into next doors..their garden is 6 ft lower than ours, that in turns drains into a house on the corner then that drains out onto a road( a close actually)which then flows downhill towards the river and the flood plain. i see on the news that Yealmpton(one of my old stamping grounds-pre marriage) again in the South Hams area is flooded, hope the pub is ok had many a good pint in there.

yeah same here, currently the road is a veratible river o.O not the first time though, i think we are one of the highest villages in dorset anyway so we should be alright ...even so next door used to flood alot...may have to go and check the back door in a minute

surprising how far reaching this floodiness is

I'm so glad that your reports show that you are both safe at the present moment. However, are there any other members within the flood areas, and how are they fairing? Perhaps their Computers are affected by the floods. Is there any way of finding out SD? If any are affected is there anyway that we can help? Kenneth Eames.

dry day here today with some sun shine, just been near the sawmills( 4 miles away) with the dog, gullies and edges of the roads have been washed away, ground VERY wet more wet weather forecast for the coming week.

well yesterday me and my dad went to look at the flooding and nearly couldnt get home xD...its terrible in dorset, whilst traversable if you know the place, for many they are stranded, alot of the villages are cut off from the towns and such like, police are stretched thin trying to help, it aint good xD

but its sunny today

if anyone is in dorset or the surrounding area and needs some help just shout out and ill see what i can arrange
