.....here, yet, but I reckon there's a good chance later. How's everyone else doing?

[Terbs]

Swanage took a bit of a battering, broke away some of the sea wall, and a bit of flooding....

[Nick W]

As we are about 60m above sea level and near the top of the gradient, I'm not worried

[Mister Rog]

Well, I live on a hill 

But the river often floods after/during heavy rain, and it's been pissing down all day. Taking a walk t'pub soon, wax coat and hat time.

My problem is the effin house. Big old thing with damp and leaks

I'm afraid that height above sea level doesn't matter. Hebden Bridge (not far from us) is twice as far above sea level than you http://dateandtime.info/citycoordinates.php?id=2647207 but they have been flooded the past few years Hebden Bridge flood pictures)

My wife is a big old thing with damp and leaks

You don't think all that water ran off the surrounding hills to the lowest local point then?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I popped out to the supermarket earlier which is 5 miles away and loads of water on the roads and saw 3 or 4 ponds where there shouldn't be and this included Tesco's car park! 

Also saw a car under a tree on the main road with Police in attendance.  One of the WPC's looked upset and I have to say it didn't look too good for the occupants of the car.

Hoping all UK Omegas are still dry

Everything has two sides, even channel orkan Nanette.

Here deepdown southwest Germany we got a a mighty swap of Mediterranean air. Yesterday it was dry and sunny at 18°C here in Lahr. Today temperature in the Bodensee area reached 21°C. Not so bad for end November

Obviously .......  but they are 120' above sea level ie heigher than your 60

Daughter lives in Yalding, but well up the hill also.

[STEMO]

If you are at 60M above sea level, and are also the highest point around, you are safe. If you are in a valley that is 120M above sea level, watch out 

[TheBoy]

I purposely bought on a hill, as I moved a year or 2 after some flooding where I used to live. So I don't worry too much about the rain, even though the back garden tends to flood a few inches in very heavy rain.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I'm also on top of a hill, but when we get really heavy rain its a struggle to get out of the village, as all roads out go downhill and then up again. The valleys at the bottom get pretty badly flooded.

[Mr Skrunts]

Quite a lot of roads in Sheffield closed according to the papers, but am ok where I live as am about 400 feet above sea level.
