Terrible flood in Wales - are all you Welsh TASers safe and well?

[NormandyMary]

Good call Rosemary. I couldnt believe the pictures on the news today. I too hope that everyone is safe and well.

Glug glug glug glug !

Everything is fine here in my part !
The rivers are well up , but not flooding here .
2 days of non stop very heavy rain , and today wall to wall sunshine .
 No tv and not heard mention of anything on radio . Not seen anyone for a few days either , so no news at all .
Apart from getting well and truly soaked umpteen times , all is fine here thanks everyone.
Hope all the others in Wales are also ok too !

glad you are ok

Going to struggle to get a proper veg crop in to last till next year , but i am like the ever ready bunny , i just keep on going , i will not give in !
I get knocked down , but i get up again , ain't nothing gona keep me down !

Same as Rusty - what's been going on?


We are mid-Powys.  The Severn looks high where we are but no actual flooding although train couldn't get through last night and we all had to turf out at Newtown and there's been alot of traffic along this way because it's all been diverted from somewhere.


Otherwise all OK.

We have been a bit further up to mid Wales today to collect our Ryelands and most of the rivers have burst their banks.
A couple of the roads were badly flooded. OH sent me out to check how deep the water was before he went through with the trailer. It was then I found that my wellies leak 
 
We had to turn back once when the road was impassible but like the pony express we got there in the end.

Have just looked on the news. Cripes!!1 The weather here is lovely today although it has been VERY VERY wet.

Just heard on the news , that people in Aberystwyth have been moved out due to heavy flooding . Aber is about 25 miles north of me .
The village near me has flooded in the past , but i live half way up a hill , so the water would have to be about 35' deep to get anywhere near me , lol .
Even if that did happen , i could still get to the land without hitting flood water , i would just need to turn left and go cross country , along the hills .
The land is about 150' higher than where i live here .
I have also made about a dozen or so timber boats , from 12'-26' , and the same in canoes , so if things get really bad , i can always do a Noah !

Hi guys - we're on Pembs/Carms border and although its been pretty wet and very very windy here for a few days, we didn't get it as bad as further north.   We have a lovly couple just arrived for their holiday in our little "Hideaway" and their journey is about 280 miles and it took them 12 hours !!!!!!!  Poor things are shattered but delighted to arrive here in glorious sunshine and blue skies with the swallows darting around all over the place (and leaving a few pressies on their car already  ).   Thanks for asking  .
KAZ - ARE YOU OK???      You're up near where the action is

All ok here  (in the hills north of carmarthen), though I was beginning to wonder if the rain would ever stop.

Thx

Keeping fingers crossed that it'll get better now - and that those we've not heard from haven't drowned...

Just on news , over 1000 people evacuated to higher ground ,  many airlifted .
Several villages under several feet of water !
Many people were moved/airlifted from caravan parks , that's a holiday they won't forget .
And there was me thinking at least with all this rain ,  i don't have to carry 20-30 buckets of water from the river to water the veg !
