We got home late last night to find the river filling rapidly and police on the bridge next to our house. The highest recorded level was July this year when it was just over a brick course away from coming in the house, so I'm a bit paranoid.... We were up until half 2 clearing the downstairs, stacking furniture and so on....

 

We woke this morning to find the sun shining and the river down.

Drizzled a bit this afternoon and into evening, Teme in Tenbury peaked this afternoon and been falling since, so it looks like the immediate risk has passed for us...

 

However, in my paranoia I've siliconed shut all the doors we don't use / need, just in case....

 

Thoughts are with those not so fortunate, clearing out our sheds which got flooded in July wasn't nice, can't imagine how nasty it would be in the house...

 

Bizarrely, we were getting lots of messages from concerned friends asking how bad it was the other day.... We'd got nothing at that stage, nor any warnings....

Turns out ITV had recycled some footage they took back in July where they interviewed my wife, was on Central News and Daybreak apparently!!! Cheeky, idle, sods....!

After borrowing a small waterpump and a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, my workshop is now nice and dry. None of our stock has been damaged and my job tomorrow morning is to clear the grime off the walls. On a related note, as a hobby I've been selling military surplus for about a yearnow. I'll put up full product lists tomorrow.

This is in Bridgwater. Iv sorted out the use of a pump tommorrow. Should solve the workshop issue so I might be able to salvage some bits and peices.

 

Try and think long term , what about raising the floor level of your building?

Well I'm moving to Kent in the next month or so, so I'm not too fussed. This is the first time in 50 years my house has even got damp. It's really not an issue
