Like the Scarlets last night

My roof is leaking (lead flashing has split) and the bedroom ceiling is damp.

Nantgarw, Rhondda.

Watching a Welsh idiot on BBC News driving his Mondeo down the High Street with water over the bonnet.

Audi driver, it’s expected, they’re very simple

So it was an Audi Mondeo?

Plato'sCave

Well fuck. I got out of bed to find 6 large fence panels down.

Caerphilly in the news

Just heard from friends that the roads from the Forest of Dean to Gloucester are flooded, so the Forest is cut off (literally as well as culturally now)

So the Forest is annexed back into Wales


(and I can work from home tomorrow )

Carnage in Pontypridd and Taffs Well. Ponty looks like Happy Shopper Venice.

Just drove from Raglan to Cardiff. Fun times.

I have only ever seen the Taff running over the top of the Castle inn bridge once before and that was in 1979, a sobering sight indeed.

Footbridge from Taff street to Pontypridd park

I was down at Cenarth falls last year, grumpy bastards hut got washed away lol.. west walians will know the significance of this...

Landslides in Glynneath and Mountain Ash, Aberdulais closed - police moving families at 4am...

at the risk of asking a daft question, how high up is that bridge?

Stay safe folks

Glad I escaped back to Oxford on Thursday. .

It's normally high enough to hurt if you do a belly flop

Must be hundreds of millions of pounds worth of improvements there.

I was safe in my ark. A few beers and a homemade chilli con carne got one through the Great Flood of South Wales.

Yes it's pretty wet and windy in Raglan. I popped into the village for some shopping this morning and it was deserted

I didn't think I met anyone who had been to Raglan even when I lived there.

euhm, *cough*?

Of course, sorry Sal

My son is in Edinburgh. He left his car in Raymond Terrace, Pontypridd. If I knew how to embed a Google image I would but here is the link.

He expects to be car shopping next week.

He’d have been doing that regardless of the heavy rain.

Wind is ridic right now

Worst of the storm gone from Ireland. Early this morning was rough.

Storm Ciara last week was more intense for Ireland

The rain has just been solid over the last 48 hours - there was one dry hour this afternoon, but the wind and rain have picked up again.

All on saturated ground from last weekend

I suppose for us it was more about the strength of the wind than the amount of rain

Wow

I'm sure the pilot wouldn't have landed if it was a passenger plane

This one is well worth a look, can only pity anyone having a last pint in the on board bar.

Video says it all, great skill by the pilots.

Interesting concept, solid rain - also known as 'hail'.

That's the picture I was looking for to go with the thread title.
