Wee bit wet in Cumbria at the moment.

Keswick flood defences breached, Cockermouth about to get flooded. Kendal and Appleby flooded and its still bloody raining and blowing a gale.
This is about a mile from me.

 

Blimey, stay safe you lakes dwellers !

 

No rain down here but really bad winds, blown three panels down

 

it's grim oop north!

 

Possible 300mm rain forecast in next 18 hours. About the same as that which flooded Cockermouth 8ft deep in 2009 plus dam at thirlmere reservoir opened to lower water level. River from there flows though Keswick towards Cockermouth.

 

Blown a plantpot over here

 

I went out in it in the camper last night and all was fine, we are use to the wind and the rain up here.............
bit more wind today but then I had a bit of curry last night................

 

Hope you live uphill from there Zeb

 

We were in Ambleside 2 weeks ago = pretty wet then - A591 through Ambleside is now closed due to flooding - glad we're not there this weekend - it's wet and windy in West Lancs which is bad enough with one fence panel out - hope you don't get flooded @Zebedee .

 

Crikey! Looks rough there. How are your Ark building skills?

 

Oh no we go to cockermouth a lot, hope it not to bad

 

Just seen about this ont web elsewhere , hold tight zeb ,hope it doesnt get you , water damage is no fun for sure

 

Wedding today down London way (ish), nearly got blown off the A2 several times and we're nowhere near the worst of it!

 

Where you live @Zebedee ?

 

Maryport.
Luckily we're on a hill way above the nearest river but just means its more windy. Had wind gusts recorded at 86mph in our garden last night.

Theres loads of walls and fences blown down, the odd tree or two, a large wooden stable in the field behind us and a citroen ragtop with no roof now. Just down the road the whole side of an empty factory was blown over and its roof lifted.
