Wet Weekend, Something of an understatement!

If I was the religious type, I would swear that it was judgement day, or at least I'd have started building an ark. I have never experienced anything like this. It certainly does make me wonder whether other forces are at hand. Lucky for us, we live at the top of a hill, so if we got flooded then everyone else would be in real trouble. However the damage suffered in other neighbouring towns is incomprehendable. I think we should all take a little time to think about those who have been severely affected by the freak weather. People's houses and businesses have been ruined, their treasured possessions damaged beyond repair. It could be months before normality is restored in some places. You have to feel sorry for the residents of Tenbury Wells, for whom this is the third, and worst, time that this has happened in the space of a month or so. The town is completely under water, cut off from the rest of the county.
It seems tonight that everything is slowly but surely starting to calm down, but there is still a long way to go. The emergancy services have done a fantastic job, at a time when they were at their most stretched. The public have been amazing too, offering refuge to those with nowhere to go, in a typically British mannor.
I would however, just like to mention the person, who decided to move the cones so they could drive down a closed road in Tenbury, promptly getting stranded in the middle. THEY CLOSE THE ROADS FOR A REASON! BECAUSE THEY ARE FLOODED! DO YOU THINK THEY JUST DO IT FOR A GIGGLE? At a time when the emerancy services were desperately needed elsewhere, they had to come and rescue you from a flooded road. You are a moron, and if it was up to me you would still be there now. Hopefully you have learned your lesson, you can't beat nature.
Anyway back to it, 2 by 2 please, no pushing...
