DH's work mate who help us get DD from school & brought us all home has unfortunately been unable to get home himself. His wife is also stuck so their 14 year old daughter is at home alone with a dog & five cats
MIL has water coming through her kitchen ceiling & no electricity in the kitchen & DH feel powerless as he can't go & help her.
The rain is predicted to ease off over night but I can imagine there will still be lots of problems here tomorrow.
I'm just so glad we bought a house on a hill. Do you remember me mentioning a house that we viewed last year flooding recently? It's bad again & DH captured it on a video:
The dogs are not impressed as they hate getting wet but at least the cats can use the cat tray in the conservatory.
ETA: DH has just spoken to his sister & they're just about to be flooded. They're trying to get things upstairs & have 3 young children. Poor DH he feels so helpless that he can't help his Mother & Sister.

I'm glad you didn't buy that house!! I'm also glad that you're all home safely and together. I'll be thinking of you all - we've had bad flooding in Sydney the last few weeks, although it's been okay here.
You have my sympathy about the weather. We've had our basement (aka the office and craft room) flood a couple of times, and it's no fun.
Hope you all stay safe, and that the bad weather passes soon.
hi - i'm a knitter in seattle, but my boyfriend lives in hull and i was just back there for the first couple weeks of the month. i'm sorry that you're having such problems with the flooding, and i hope it recedes soon - i was around for the first round of rain and waded a bit down newland avenue.
anyway - just wanted to wish you the best.
blimey, saw it on the news last night. Good thing you're all home and (relatively) dry tho. Puts the (minor) leaks in my kitchen ceiling into perspective.
Good luck.
