It's been raining here for two day's solid now and most of the area is under water. I got a phonce call from the F-I-L this morning telling me he had been wakened at 4.00am this morning by the police to ask him to move his car as the river had started to break it's bank's!!!!! The home/flats where he live's is built next to the river and has flood-gates and high banking's as it is prone to flooding, thank goodness I live at the top of a hill, the town would have to be completely submerged and more before it would ever affect us. I have decided to post a couple of pics and quotes from the local news station.
"Homes and roads in the Borders have been flooded after torrential rain deluged many parts of Scotland."
" There were cars floating about on the high street and there was a car actually through one of the windows of a local shop "
Apparently it is to get a lot worse before it get's better.......
