Ripon Floods

Not a happy day where I live in Ripon. It has rained solidly here for about 2 days and last night it was really heavy persistant rain. This morning the rivers burst their banks, and we have just been told that we may have to empty the car park and sandbag the doors at the office. Personally I don’t think it will reach us, But I used Msn Live Maps and over laid the flood water and the red area are my offices :

Ripon in flood

I have also put some pictures on flickr and on Ripon Internet

    It’s absolutely pissed it down in Leeds all day today. Glad I live at the top of a hill.

    Dave,

    Aw, man. Wish you could 302 the rain over here to Mississippi for a bit. We have half normal rainfall for the year so far.

    Fingers crossed. Let us know if we can do anything.
