Then it hit us

[FsNovice]

It appears the southwest has now been hit by the same band of weather as the east. Portishead where i live came to a standstill as we got hit by an almightly flash flood. I managed to get a few shots, after riding through the midst of the storm to pick my sister up and wading back!!!!







got a few more good ones to post, but wanted to get some up quickly.

anyone else near Bristol got weather like this?

[Cessna93]

Us Bristolians got lucky, that weather man said we are going to get tons of rain and bad weather but the only rain we have had so far was just a few minutes ago and that only lasted 3 minutes.

Why did it have to flood a First Choice shop?!

Rats, that type of weather is awaiting us Belgians this night...

[FsNovice]

It was raining torrentially for 45 minutes

It has abaited now, but it will take a while for all the water to receede

heres another shot, of a chav in his car, thinking hes all clever charging through it, really really stupid in this weather

[Cessna93]

I hope he dosn't make it back, what a stupid man/women! Should just stay in you'r house or somewere safe.


Well this stuff happens, but what can you do about  :-/

Could of been much worse, but at least it dosn't get that bad here in this part of the UK.

Portishead was in the UK the last time I looked.

I was in Leamington Spa over the weekend. It was pretty bad there too.

I know they are both in the UK I live near Bristol. I said at least it dosn't get that bad here

Well, I assume that FsNovice's photos were taken in Portishead (near Bristol) some time today.

[FsNovice]

Taken in Portishead today at about 1845. That clear it up?

Let's hope this kind of weather doesn't hit me here.  :o

In my hometown, the river Trent burst it's banks on Sunday and flooded the washlands, but that's nowhere near as serious.  :o

[FsNovice]

Most of it has now subsided. The fire service opened pretty much all the drains. It seemed a well drilled operation from the 1 police officer and the fire service to keep people safe. Many premises were flooded, but many wont find out till tommorow as they were already closed.

A fine day for a little kayaking.

woah...we had torrential rains for about 45 minutes here yesterday and I thought the 6 inches of water on the roads was bad! Luckily it wasn't as bad as your rain happened to be cuz I had plans with my girlfriend! :-)

Hope all dries out!

[SkyNoz]

Wow, you guys need some storm drains.
