This is a garage on the a66 I filled up there yesterday and it didn't look like that!! Although some poor sod in a Lorry got blown over in front of me coming the other way
 
There's lifeboat lads going round the streets in Keswick helping stranded people out of there homes can't praise them enough.
Been some damage round my area today and the weather is still at it
 
West of Ireland getting it bad. Loads a flights outa dublin cancelled. Bad flooding in Donegal and Galway.

Up here in Northern Ireland we're considering it to be a light breeze.

In fact most of us are going for a belly out picnic tomorrow.

Is that at Stainmore? Used to look after the roadside weather stations in ***bria 20 years ago and checking the one at Stainmore in February was a pig: had to put the ladder up on the carriageway side, freezing yer pods off despite being wrapped in waterproofs, balaclava, wooly pully, the whole lot looking like the provos meet the roads dept, with artics thrashing past at 60+ just a few feet from yer backside!

Just seen Keswick on the main news, jesus Carlise got it bad!
 
you sure you wernt a highway man?

Stand & deliver! 🙂 Nah, it was tied in with the salting guys in highways but 'cause we looked after all the mechanical & electrical, were in the next door office and they didn't have anybody who knew owt about all the testing we (ME!) got stuck with it!

Nothing new there. Down by the Sands and the fire station was always getting flooded as well as Brunton Park (at least Carlisle had an excuse for their cr@p playing!) and Botcherby. Glad to say I was up Scotland Rd, well above any possible floods!
 
Bad last week end due to severe flooding in Lancaster. Substation flooded and no power on Saturday from 22:40 till 05:30 Monday, then off again at 16:00 till 07:00 Tuesday.
