It said theres been around 3 months of rain in one and a half days. Yesterday was the worst.It was recorded near to where we live as the wettest day on record since 1883. My cousin has a 3 foot high trampoline in her garden, it was totally underwater yesterday. She has a beck at the bottom of her garden which had burst its banks. Today theres just lots of debris there. 3 people have been killed too.Its just awful.

We've missed the worst of it this week, but did have some serious flooding last week, 3 of our 6 routes out of the village were impassable last week. We are expected to get some more of the bad stuff tomorrow, fortunately our village is on a hill!!
