Flooding - Whats going on?
- Thread starter mcbeee
- Start date
isn't because I have a big engined car that only does 1000 miles a year??? much worse than small cars doing 30k if you believe the hype, so I'm sorry, but all the flooding is my fault... 
start keeping sandbags on hand for the winter from now on I suppose :thumbsdown:Just read the link, not the gay idiot linkmarkeg said:
sounds remarkably familiar to what has been happening here in the last couple of years. Lots of surveys and plans and govt. promises, but like all govt promises only a small percentage get done amd presto, we had a major city downtown core flooded out and major flooding all over the south of the province. I believe you can fit the UK into our province with some left over so it was a lot of water.....mostly a combo of snowmelt and heavy rain at the same time.....
Get after the government and re-acquaint them with the concept of Priority.

Ha Ha. If you recall this time two years ago the water companies were bemoaning the lack of winter rainfall for the previous couple of winters. Recall visiting Rutland Water at the end of March and the water was very very low. It started raining at the beginning of April that year and has hardly stopped during that summer period and the last two winters.
I'm sure that if there is a dry summer this year then a hose pipe ban will quickly be enforced.

Its been renamed to Lake Somerset!
I'm sick of it. Plus just hit a huge flooded section around 20 metres long, deeper than the bottom of my bumper at about 60mph on the A4 (which is unlit) with oncoming traffic dazzling me. There was no warning of it, no flood signs and little surface water and no rain until I hit it. Closest I've been to binning it ... Big time. Brown pants and a dirty car - thankfully kept away from the traffic and ditch, and bumpers still attached 
careful out there!
It was pretty clean until I hit it!

Being a Somerset resident, I can say that it's only a small area. We have not been affected at all, although where it is bad, it's really bad.
Cornwall is also getting a real battering.
Should invest in a boat, not a car.

Small area is relative I suppose, 25 square miles in a solid zone, plus about another 15 in patches. No end in sight
