Is your home water flooded?

Not seen a thread so I thought I'd ask and see how you're coping and how long you've been flooded for?

    Not yet..but flooding in the field behind me has been slowly creeping up to the car park behind the block of maisonettes where I live. Was a few yards away from the car park yesterday..now its right up to a ditch between the car park and field, which is supposed to drain away flood water, but is already brimming, blocked by the tree debris and general rubbish from the recent winds.
    Once the water breeches the car park the bottom floor flats are flooded...I'm lucky I live on the first floor flat I suppose.
    Supposed to be someone clearing the ditch next week, but by then..probably to late.

    I know God was apparently pissed off with Gay marriage, but this is a long time to hold a grudge.

    Well I had a chocolate flood once but that was quite pleasurable :p

    My Grampy's garden backs onto a river so it is completely flooded, I don't think it's reached the house yet (it's a very big garden), I need to check that.

    If your house gets flooded does your insurance cover it? :confused:

    Blame those pesky foreigners...The weather man says the storms are due to weather conditions in Indonesian.

    Translate to Daily mail headline

    "Bad weather caused by Indonesians".

    I am high and dry, with the Thames below.

    I really feel for those with the long haul ahead of getting their lives back to normal.

    No flooding, but the main river running through the city is getting pretty close. We have tones of sand all along the roads by the beach front though because of the wind.

    Yep, my garden is pretty treacherous! Doesn't help that the chickens have been scratching away at it..it's a mudbath in places.

    No but garden very soggy, much to the joy of 4 year old who told me yesterday that if she put her foot in the grass it made a puddle, and much to irritation of all 3 cats.
