Blizzard Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Further to my post "Rained Off" in Motorhome Matters on the 18th inst :- I never expected the intensity of the deluge that hit Cumbria and other areas of the northwest. My heart goes out to the residents of the villages and towns of Cumbria, most severely affected by the flood waters, and especially to the family, friends and colleagues of the Policeman who sadly lost his life whilst helping his community. A sad, sad loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Agree. One thing moaning about the weather, but this puts everything into perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Agreed, it puts everything into perspective. apparently Cumbria (Cumberland) had over fourteen inches of rain in 13 hours yesterday, and more is on the way! My heart goes out to all those who have been made homeless and to the family and colleagues of the policeman. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 It's a disaster, with Christmas around the corner as well. Dosn't bear thinking about. Lincolnshire where I live is supposed to be prone to flooding, but the weather has been brilliant, quite warm if a bit showery. Quickly touches wood. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie gibblebucket Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 When will these poor people be able to get back into their homes? It's going to take forever to get them dried out and habitable again, not to mention the loss of many precious possessions. I think the government should declare a National Disaster and pour some money in pdq. I felt desperately sorry for them when I watched the news. I really feel sorry for the policemans family too, what kind of Christmas are they going to have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 12 inches of rain in 24 hours? Beyond belief. I live in a town which straddles the river Severn so our lives tend to revolve around watching the river level when the weather's bad. Can't imagine what it would be like if we'd had all that rain. My thoughts are with the families in Cumbria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
