Bridge over troubled mud
Bridge over troubled mud
Floods have subsided now. My nearby friends were unable to get out for 2 days and multiple roads were closed, when it floods round here they usually have one passable way out.
The Met office says this has been the second wettest January on record for Dorset (2014 was more wet).
The recent heavy rain across South West England has brought floods and other mayhem.
However, it has had the beneficial side effect of significantly increasing the water levels of our reservoirs:

"Total water storage across the South West has now reached the level of the same date in 2022. There is still a way to go to reach last year’s level, and even further to go achieve the ideal of 100% full by the middle of March! In particular, Colliford Reservoir in Cornwall is only just over 3/4 full.
However, more help is at hand due to heavy rain caused by the recent passage of #StormChandra across the UK"
