Flood Patrol

<< < (3/4) > >>

Evilgoat:
Obstructing the Highway. They cant do that :)

Steven:
"an old lady in a Fiat Punto "  :lol: wish there was a ford near us :(

SimonHarwood:
Slash Lane in Sileby is flooded. I went through this morning...

Simon..

PS. I wonder what Watery Gate Lane and Blaby fords are like today...
PPS. The depth gauge at Blaby ford reads low  :shock:

lostdreamer:
Wow. That is the deepest I have seem the lawford ford. Somewhere under that water is a depth marker...assuming it hasn't been washed away.

V8MoneyPit:
There are 3 fords within half a mile of our house. One is just a water splash, but was running about 8" or so last night.

Another only floods after reasonable rain and the bow wave came over the bonnet on the Sammy  :D A bit scary as the fast flowing water actually pushed the car sideways as I went through  :shock:

The last one (which I have never seen flooded until last week) was 'quite interesting' last night. Took a pic of it last night:



and again this morning. The water has dropped by something like 20". At this point it is still running about 12":
