Anybody in the flooding

Post by **340GLT** » 28 Jun 2007 01:03 am

Hi guys i have come back home to help clear up. TBH i have had the worst week ever as my other grandfather passed away on Monday, so to come back to this is hard.
The house had water in it up to the kitchen table so pretty much all of downstairs needs replacing, as for the garage its bad i will post some pics up of the damage this week. It looks like i could of lost a pair of struts and fittings to make a pair of adjustable coil overs.
Out the back we had a single concrete garage we used for storage, i use the word HAD there as the water has wiped out the side wall!!
I dont have words to describe how i am feeling right now, i'm just glad my grandparents were away at the time.
Cheers for the words from everyone!!
Adam

The floods have been terrible. The village where I live has flooded lower down the hill and its never done than in the 50 years my dads been alive. Theres a "stream" near my house which is about 6 foot below the road. I've never seen with water in, and that had water in level with the road.

Well you can't be expected to remember everyone's whereabouts

Whats my excuse of forgetting your whereabouts

Glad to here you and carl alright anyway gem, we're alright though the insurance rekon we are on the flood plain

If we get floded up here then goodbye Tenbury.

Sorry to hear bout your grandparents Ad, if you need any local storage etc you know where I am, we gotta decent size yard (if a bit overgrown)

Worrying thing was how quickly it went up in Tenbury. 9pm ish Monday night it looked like this....

My mate went down the next day, bout 11am to find it like this....

Bloke who owns this place went for a brew bout 2am and as he came down the stairs put his foot straight in, theres a wake up call for you![/img]

Sorry to hear of your loss Adam, and I hope things can be sorted out at the garage and your grandparents home. If there's anything you need, just ask

Hope the water's have receded for all involved.
This may help restore a sense of humour during trying times.
