Sheff storm 8/8

[taxman 12]

I'm confused, has it been raining?

 

I was worried there for a second.

Providing you are physically able to go to Wickes and buy/fill sandbags yourself.

 

......and provided they own a car or have family friends near by and around who can drive them.

Is this where we find out that our potholes were our only real drainage system?

I thought they must be a purpose for them

Nah the pot holes are for falling in. (Has the hurt ankle to prove it)

I guess the Ski Village isn't on fire then!

Cars are rare in Sheffield.

Not sure of the exact location but a friend posted this saying this is in Mosborough.. apparently lightning struck to road http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=35asqo8&s=8

 

That particular damage was caused by heavy rain, not lightening and actually happened a month or two back, not tonight.

 

It's on Station Road, just near the junction with School Street and very close to me. When the damage first appeared it was quickly repaired using the (sub)-standard methods usually applied to Sheffield's potholes. After the storm on 25th Jul it got carved up again even worse and has now had a better job done, which will hopefully last more than a few weeks this time

Well, not exactly. I don't think people are bothered about rain as such, more bothered about their house getting flooded.

But many do, and if I were them I'd do something.
