It's been raining lots and lots today. This is what the river by my house looked like when I came home earlier. The water has risen several feet in just one day!
It's not raining right now, in fact, the sun has come out. The sky is still quite dark, though.
I went to the shop across the road to stock up on essentials in case it rains overnight (toilet roll, canned food, water). It's funny; I was up in the north-east last week where there was a big flood and people were stranded and the power went out. When we went to the shops, there were no potatoes, not much choice of bread, I think people had gone out to stock up and prepare for worse.
Here, on the other hand, the shelves are full and a lot of things have been heavily reduced. I think it's a case of "it's raining - I can't be bothered to go to the shops!"
Just by the river here, some police vans have turned up along with many onlookers and a helicopter overheard. I hope no-one's fallen in. :(
