Floods

What a day its been today.   A state of emergency has been declared in  Cumbria after a rainfall of 150mm in 24 hours.  Lots of towns flooded, Cockermouth, Keswick, Kendal, Appleby and many many more.  Carlisle is also expected to flood.  Its just awful and I know many people living in these places who have been through flooding in the past.  Have seen photos of sheep being rescued  and no doubt there will be many casualties.    

I had to go to Cockermouth for work this morning and the journey was awful with roads starting to flood, I was so relieved to get home before they got worse.  Anyhow hope nobody minds but today's blip was taken  yesterday on the way home from Keswick and is just a few miles from where I live and the water from the fields was starting to come across the road this morning.  Supposed to rain until 6am!!  Stay safe :)
