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

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.

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

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.

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

Posted: **Sun Feb 16, 2020 8:59 pm**

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

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