Even by our standards it's wet with a lot more to come in the next day
or so.


Could be worse David, I've just seen this......

A29 is shut due to flooding at Slindon and Berstead
A24 is shut southbound at Findon
Buses replace trains between Fareham and Eastleigh
Two cars stranded by flooding on the B3302 at Fraddam between Hayle and
Helston
Deep flood water on roads including the A399 Ilfracombe to Watermouth
A landslip has partly blocked the A386 near Bideford
The Lymington River at Brockenhurst has burst its banks
The road and rail network is disrupted by floods in Hampshire
The B3269 near Lostwithiel is closed
The A341 in Wimborne Minster is closed in both directions at the Canford
Magna junction
In Dorset several vehicles are stuck in flash floods in Holt Road, Three
Legged Cross, Canford Arena, Canford Magna

We have had over an inch of rain today, no wonder they have had the
gates up on the Thames weirs this week trying to get rid of as much
water as possible.

Well I checked our rainfall at 3pm and we have had 1.9 inches in the
last 24 hours.
