Here at the other side of the pond it was completely out of this world. i've never seen such a rain storm in my live in europe.. I live just under the top of a hill and there was so much rain and wind it was like the rain was flying verticaly, i opened a window and it was 3 seconds i was wet as if ive taken a shower. The street looked like a raging river within 15 minutes.. I saw trees break in front of my hous and blew up hill like match sticks.. While watching all this with aw and laughing my butt off, because it was my first time ever in 50 years to witness this, last time was 20 years ago in africa, but here??
But the joy was short lived, 10 minutes into the process a hear water dropping all over the house, it came out of the wall and ceiling.. It was to much for the sewer couldn't take it all and the flat roof flooded.. I jumped on the roof in the storm and stood more than anckle deep in the water trying to find the drains to keep them free and using buckets to get the water of my roof.
The power went off because all the water running into the power sockets..
I have been mopping the house till 3 o clock into the night.. Had to drill holes in the ceiling to drain the water pockets above the plasternboards, about 30 liters off water came out.. If i didn't drill the holes the plasterboard probably would have come down completey on it's own within a few hours soaking..
Did it hit the UK too?? It did in France..
