Storm Darrah

Thought I'd just nip out and bring the bins but Oldham is in the middle of a monsoon!! Can't remember last time I saw rain like this !!
Next door neighbour flooded last night,it happened to use both a few years ago, I replaced my drive with a drain and resin , nothing got through. The drains near us just get overwhelmed from a huge run off from the fields above, one poor bastard got flooded a few weeks ago he now has an 8 foot hole in his garden as the drain rubs under his house it’s his responsibility to solve the mess, I’m guessing he will have a bilge pump installed. They want to build on the field this run off comes from that’ll just make things worse for us all, so far the green belt is holding out against developers.
 
Wonder if the Dipper Derby will go ahead? Amber warning of 66mph gusts and heavy rain at game time.

I wouldn't want to travelling over from Ireland this weekend.

Dunno where you live but I really hope your neighbour has insurance. It's about time potential flood waters played a bigger part in granting planning permission. I still remember when the stretch of M60 between Oldham and Denton opened and it flooded in weeks. It's built on a river bed and the camber was all wrong!
