SEAN3513 7 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 well i'm up here in the thick of it.........been out since 4 this morning working on flood damage etc. our nearest river, the river leven, that feeds out of lake windermere, was 4 feet higher than ever recorded just can't begin to tell you how much water there is, in the fields etc. the rainfall at seathwaite was 372mm (15") in 36 hours, which is more than the whole of november usually, to put that in perspective that is the same amount of rainfall they get in the south east for 9 months just had my tea, and i'm off out again soon sand bagging as there is more rain coming tonight/tomorrow. atb sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ginny Spinner 455 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I only live 100 yards from where the road bridge collapsed, also a half mile up river the foot bridge over the river leading into the town centre also collapsed and the only other road bridge giving us access into town is also at breaking point so going into town which is only a few hundred yards away will now mean a 30 mile return trip.
