Default [OBS] Romsey - Thursday 18th August 2011

A further prolonged period of heavy rain has resulted in our
second 10+mm hour today and the event total stands at a
whopping 42.3mm. The road to Romsey from neighbouring
North Baddesley is currently impassable to ordinary cars
due to the depth of water, almost unheard of at this location.
