I know everyone is saying that its terrible and vile, but it just isn't.

Wife's been on weather sites, there's bands of rain sweeping around a
moderate depression but really, its nothing special.

The worst actual issue has been spray on te M1 or summink. I mean
really? spray on the M1!

Okay, it's from the Daily Wail so to be taken with a pinch of salt, but:

"Environment Agency issues 22 flood warnings and 122 alerts - many in
Midlands and Devon and Somerset
Strongest winds forecast in the North East and parts of Scotland
Many areas will have 20-40mm of rain but some will see up to 80mm
(three inches)
Pennines to see the heaviest rainfall and communities are being urged
to brace themselves
Roads in Somerset, Dorset and Cheshire underwater leaving many drivers
marooned
River Yeo at its highest ever levels - 500mm higher than normal
Trains cancelled or delayed around the Bristol area as rainwater
floods the tracks"

And around here (Gt. Manchester) it's not bad, but we are suffering
roads 5" deep in water where the drain can't cope.

It does sort of get you used to it. The trees get used to it too,
growing up in windy area seems to encourage them to send out wider and
deeper roots making them more resistant to stormy weather.

I was working down in jessie land when the last proper blow happened a
couple of decades ago and drove around the fallen trees on the road to
get to work but they'd closed the site until they checked all the
buildings for structural damage.

Should I tell the Scout leader that I used 3 tubes of silicon sealant around
the edges of door before bagging it up?

Dunno if the silicon will help if the Dearne floods but the sealant was in
my van and is as cheap as chips.

They will not be able to open the door when it sets.

I'm sure the Scoutmaster is used to prying his way into places that are not
supposed to be entered. It's in the training isn't it?

I noticed a lot of the trees that had been blown over were the trees
left after the edge trees had been cut down for building site
clearance, many years ago.
As a result, the root systems of these remaining trees had never been
developed enough to resist stormy weather and blow-over was
inevitable.
The edge trees, that no longer existed, were a lot stronger under the
ground. They provided protection to the rest.

It's 25th September, and we've had almost a month's worth
of rain so far this month!

Our 4 local reservoirs (Bewl, Darwell, Powdermill and Weir Wood) are way
above normal levels:

http://www.southernwater.co.uk/Envir...voirLevels.asp

If you look at Bewl, April-August you can see it is constantly filling, not
emptying as it usually does.

Because there is a couple of weeks delay on the graph, you can mentally add
an uptick onto the end of the red line because it's been ****iing it down
for a week!

There's a new theory (at least I only saw it on Horizon/iplayer yesterday)
that says that it may have been the case that most of the Earth's water came
from ice asteroids (that's new) and comets crashing into it...

Lumpy enough?
