You can send some down my way!
We have a hill-farm, so it runs off almost as soon as it falls on.
Floods can be worse than fires (loss of life notwithstanding!).
We lost our driveway (.3k's long) two years ago and we've only really just fixed it.
Good to see you're safe. Remember to keep clean water on hand.
Fingers crossed.
Pete

We have been getting Buckets of Rain today hope we have taken it from you I don't think you guys need or want any more correct me if I am wrong I hope you are all OK. We can handle more rain than you guys although we did have these floods in 2008.
