Flooding.

I'm sure those adversely affected will be comforted to know you are getting some gratification from it.

I hope so, because that's all that matters.

Imagine being so stupid to live in said places

Oops, STOP THE NEW BUILDS ON GREEN SPACE

Not sure if you're on about the road or the school, but the school was closed early today (seems a bit OTT in my opinion).

Not if you live on the banks of the Sow it isn't.

Wasn't that a Boney M song about 1978 if I'm not mistaken?

Sandyford Brook at Astonfields is steady at 1.02m.

The River Sow at Broadeye Bridge is slowly rising, 2.15m currently. Looks to be increasing 0.01m between the 15 minute readings.

Stafford rangers going ahead at least, can't wait to watch them lose again

River Sow at Broadeye now at 2.22m.

I wonder if we'll end up with similar scenes to 2019.

Record level was 2.54m on 7 November 2000.

Only a foot below the record level is serious.

Think it'll go down today, no more rain or not much.

Only a foot below the record level is serious.

Historic data shows the Sow at Broadeye peaked at 2.295 (26th) & 2.52m (27th) for the Oct 2019 floods.

Think it'll go down today, no more rain or not much.

The problem will probably be run off into the river. The river is increasing and Sandyford brook is decreasing.

From where I'm sat, The Doxey Road car parks are boating lakes. There is at least 3 cars I can see that are marooned.
Jacques Cousteau is debating whether to paddle Sainsburys or take the long slog round to Tescos.

It's peaked at Gt Bridgeford but it is nowhere near reaching peak levels 'in town' yet
