Very wet in the lowlands here Nick. 35mm so far today and it is still raining. Dawlish water was bank-full this afternoon and high tide is at 9.30. Could well be flooding here. I hope the properties near the sea outlet have sandbags at the ready. I dread to think what the morning will bring across Devon, as it has been exceptionally wet an some people's Christmases will be very soggy ones. Ouch.
