Ah, is it in Leeds and the places near Leeds as well?

[Lioness_Heart]

Yeah, just thought I'd add my sympathy to everyone who lives in the flooded areas. It's quite bad where I live, as I live reight on the edge of the Fens (v. flat!) but luckily we haven't been flooded yet. Hope everyone out there in the rain is ok!

xxxooo
to all of you

[Niamh]

are you near lincoln Lioness? I've friends in Osmanby and i dont know what its like there and if they are ok.

[kathycf]

Eeek, that is awful. :( Hope no more fatalities and the rain stops soon...

[manolia]

Isn't it odd?? Half Europe suffers from those floods and heavy rain while the other half (my country included) is roasting from high temperatures..i have heard on the news that people actually died from the extreme heat in many countries.

we've been kind of lucky here in Ireland with the rain. Its been raining on and off for a week and a half now, fairly bucketing down but we havent had any today. It rain in Britain will probably hit us soon but the worst of it will have hit britain. Its supposed to be bad for the next two days so fingers crossed!
I feel very sorry for the family of the 20 year old guy in Hull who died earlier after getting his foot caught in a grate, and the family of the 13 year old boy whos body has been found after being swept away by a current in hte floods in Sheffield. lets hope there are no more casualties but i fear there will be.

[Mortis Anarchy]

Ugh...we are flooding also!!! My sympathy to all you suffering from heavy rainfall...funny, suffering...it has been raining for 4 days now, off and on and the streets are flooded. I had to drive to work today, it was so dark that I couldn't even seee a foot ahead of me...I almost got hit by another car!!! Good luck and keep safe!!

[Pensive]

The weather in Karachi here is also very bad. Stormy! Damn. Many have died due to the heavy rain. :(

I hope it all gets better, everywhere!

[Virgil]

My best wishes too. I have a pair of friends in Hull Upon Kingston, which seems to be at the heart of the storm. I hope they are OK.

[Niamh]

the rain has some what passed, but it has now hit europe. Going for Germany. I hope it isnt as bad there as it was in Britain! They had a months rain in a day.
Take care!

It rained an awful lot but we skipped the floods.

Although I'm kind of stressed about this freezing (for the seasons) temperatures in June... I'm shocked and now I understand why they say that living in the Uk drives you insane because of the weather...

My country is one of those boiling ones, and there's nothing too extraordinary except that it's a bit more boiling than usual... in the past few days I've read every day of deaths in the south of Italy because of the heat which reached very high levels... but it's not the first time...it's horrible but less surprising than 14° (Celsius) one week before July...

:eek:


They had a months rain in a day.
Take care!

LOL ...and a year's rain in a month! ;)
It's been a really grey few weeks. :sick:

It's the North that got really clobbered. Dahn Sahf where I live (about 25 miles North of Central London), it's just been ordinarily crap summer weather. It'd better be a bit better by Saturday evening - I'm going to see 'The Merchant of Venice' at Shakespeare's Globe, which, being a reconstruction of the original, is open to the elements. The bit I'm in is roofed, but open at the front. I usually go as a groundling - glad I'm not this time, if it's going to rain!

Back in April, we were having typical June temperatures, and now in June it's more like April! [Rolling-eyes smiley here - this forum doesn't seem to have one.]

[Lioness_Heart]

are you near lincoln Lioness? I've friends in Osmanby and i dont know what its like there and if they are ok.


I'm about an hour away from lincoln. I've never heard of Osmanby, sorry! But luckily there is less rain now.

[Niamh]

I think its on the nottingham side of Lincoln, about twenty minutes from Newark. But then again i got the name wrong! Its Osboumby outside sleaford. Hopefully they didnt get swamped but i havent heard anything from them!

True, April was surprisingly great, and now it's making up for it!:sick: :crash:
