[wr] Flooding Aberfeldy
 

Thankfully not actually in my property so far.

35 mm of rain here (24hrs) and obviously much, much more just to the west
have resulted in the Tay bursting its banks from Loch Tay right down to
Dunkeld.The normal beach at the head of the Loch at Kenmore (about 30 foot
of sand and shingle) has been submerged and the Loch is right up to the
road.


The road into Aberfeldy from Weem is submerged as is the golf course,
caravan park and most of the valley floor. In parts the floodwater has
widened to about 1/4 mile in parts

Currently having to detour by 12 miles or so to get into town, and that is
going through about 5 or so fords. The Tay is right at the road on the
Eastern and Western exits and it would not take much to breach. Quite a few
farms are completely surrounded by the water.

Unlike the August floods it seems that the Tay is the most affected this
time. Our burn has risen by around 1 meter but has receded in the last 4
hours, it was rather angry and noisy at first light. having just cleaned up
from August I am somewhat nervy at this time. I am hoping that we get snow
tonight

Let's hope it doesn't.

Good Luck, Brian.

I was just thinking of you Brian! My friends parents are at Pubil and
they are reporting 'The flooding even here in Glen Lyon this morning is
awesome but already receding. The River is in torrent and has broken
its banks.'

They are fortunate in that they are about 10m up from the river, plus
Pubil is about 1/4 mile downstream from Lubreoch Dam which controls the
water flow.

I hope all goes well for you this time, and that you avoid any
flooding.

I do hope things are ok for you in the morning Brian, as I'm sure you're
aware of the dire forecast.
I hope it turns out that you have snow with a slow thaw.
Alex.

Were you not flooded earlier on in the year?

Yes in August, it seems that the main rivers are affected this time, in
August it was the wee ones that came off the hills. Here's hoping

Hi Douglas

My wife is just back from Town via Kenmore, lots of water on the road around
Kenmore and on the road between Kenmore and Aberfeldy. Raining hard at the
moment. Heard that at least one property was flooded out in Glen Lyon this
morning.

That ties in with the focus of heaviest rain ... over Perthshire in
August (in a northeasterly), and over Argyll yesterday and last
night (in a southwesterly). The present pattern is relatively
common; what you endured in August is mercifully much
rarer.
