Boooo...
Its been raining solidly here for about 4 days now. I went down to look at the river in Didsbury an hour or so ago, and what's usually a 10 foot wide meandering stream with banks 15 foot high is a surge flowing faster than I can run, only about 6 inches from the tops of the banks in places. if we get any more rain we're going to have some serious flooding in south Manchester, as a lot of the land is now *below* the level of the river. Not many houses, luckily (its mostly a golf course), but there are some.
