Hope you're ok, David, it doesn't look good....

Thanks for the thoughts, Rob. I'll be okay myself, being on top of a hill
60-70m above the river, and the flood barriers down in town should prevent
homes being ruined in the way Hull and so on endured. The biggest risk at
the moment is probably the torrents of water sluicing down the (steep) main
road into town from overflowing drains, and more to the point a number of
drivers who are driving as though this were just a light shower.
