Having flashbacks!!
Struggling to control my breathing.

This is next door's back yard right now.

Neighbour is home and I swear I'm in a worse state than she is!

Somehow, it missed us completely this time, but the *noise* it made was the same 😢

@stueytheround What happened? Be calm, my friend. Breathe deep and slow.

@homebird
Horrendous rain overnight has led to flooding. How it got my neighbour but missed me is a complete mystery!

@stueytheround @homebird

Oh no, you guys are getting floods again?
Stay safe and dry 🤗

@Maude
The rain has stopped.
The sun has shown its face and for now at least, we're all good.
We got very lucky.
Feels like a miracle!

@homebird

@stueytheround 🤗 so glad to hear! Now it needs to do its job and help you dry. @homebird

@Maude @homebird
This is the band of rain which caused it.
The orange represents roughly ½ inch per hour.
It's heading North West and looks like that's the last of it for today.
Phew!

@Maude @homebird when I got home I had to clear 5 drains of windswept recyclable items, leaves and grit. It was enough to fill half of my garden waste bag. I feel I can relax knowing the drains are clear, we are likely to have some rain overnight but not as much as lunchtime.
