-
Listening to the news it sounds like the first of many again.
-
went through a deep ish flod today in the lorry where it hasnt floded in years apparantly. Went to the top of one new cars number plate and it was quiet high up. Think they were lucky!
I should be out finding the floods now but just not in the mood. yes my day at work WAS that bad :cry: :'(
-
went through a few fords today....was a great feeling moving up to the front of people stood looking at it........ and not stopping.......it was 1m ( just over 3ft ) at one point :lol: :lol: :D :D :D
-
I did 3ft once and went half way up windscreen and in through air vents on dash board. Not something I fancy to repeat again in a hurry! Any photos of your fun?

Been through some water today in mine on roads that don't usually flood,worst part is i'm out at 4am tonight/morning and will have to take a different route into work :huh:
-
It is due to be freezing tomorrow morning so with the ground and roads as wet as they are now it will make seriously interesting driving on what I think will be sheet ice! :shock:
-
We dont usually see much flooding in this part of the world, living and working on a port, any rain water tends to end up in the Solent quite quickly...
at least it used to....
With all the new development of the port recently , new hardstandings and the like, the road the runs past the main gate has become a bit, well, I'll let the pics do the talking..

I saw this Xsara in the water when I went for my lunch, it was still there when I was on my way back to work, so I offered my services, and ended up dragging him out backwards...
Next to need a tug was this white van, his engine was swamped when a lorry went the opposite direction with a bow wave that would have put the boxing day tsunami to shame, was good to see the Rangie Sport driver didn't even hesitate....
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e266/bsteve101/DSCF0598.jpg)
And to finish off in style, whilst I was turning around after the Xsara, to go get the white van, this truck (the white one, not the blue one) went the wrong side of the van and promptly dropped off the side of the road...

I didn't think that I would be able to help, but he hooked up the tow strop, and low first saw him pop up back on to the road..
and just a couple of other pics...

Its still raining now, so I expect that the water will get deeper, the deepest I saw it get was about an inch higher than the top of the steps on the rangie, though somehow I've managed to get water in my head lights and the spots on the front...that'll be the bow waves from motors going a little too fast I think...
-
WELL DONE THAT MAN :clap: (oops caps lock on)
I think I recognise that fencing from the last time it flooded and seeing clips on the net about it.
-
I dont think I've ever seen the road that bad in the 6 years I've lived here though....
Its Cracknore Hard Lane, Marchwood, one of two roads that lead into the industrial area :-k
-
went through a few foods today....was a great feeling moving up to the front of people stood looking at it........ and not stopping.......it was 1m ( just over 3ft ) at one point :lol: :lol: :D :D :D
I went through a few foods today too ... some fish, some mushy peas and some chips. Obviously not as eventful as a 1m deep collection (was it custard?)
-
Just been talking to a neighbour and she went through 2 floods then at the 3rd decided to not go any further as she only has a small car. I may need to go and see if anyone needs rescuing tomorrow if it stays like this. Still really raining here in Daventry area.

Steve110.... nice to see someone with a sense of community :D Well done mate :clap:
-

-

Thanks mate :D
I just went back through the flooded part on my way back from the shops, to make sure no one else was stuck there, honest, not to have a play..... :^o :angel:
-
and is it deeper?
-
About 18" or so at the deepest point, the water covers about a 125 meter stretch of road, nice little 'ford' really, shame its such a busy route during the day.
-
hahahahhahahahaha l200 hahahahahahahaha, not that i dislike them or anything :twisted:

Will have to remeber that :) Didnt even try for Sheepwash ford last night, side lanes were bad enough. Eastleigh ford will probobly be close to Impassable too.
-
I have just been out for 45 minutes around all my back roads and there is lots of water in the fields but 1 tiny disco length flood that just about got the wheels wet.
I want floods! :roll:
-
If you were sensible you would not want floods. Floods disrupt daily life, ruin peoples property, kill crops, cause damage and disrupt business and logistics. Are you really sure you WANT flooding?
It also can also cause power outages, and I see from earlier that you suffered the worst type, a brownout.
-
Obviously I dont want the type of flooding that damages lives, but I live in a very rural area and this time of year there arent many crops in the fields and takes a good few minutes to drive between village to village. So a little to streem to burst its banks onto a road would be nice, or even if water settles in the bottom of a dip where an old railway line used to go and the road dips down under the old bridge nowhere near houses or crops, but for it to damage someones lives I wouldn't wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy.
