Sorry I 've been keeping regular reports, but I was so worried about my home town of C-ckermouth and the business, I had to see for myself. It is disaster on a scale my own eyes have not seen before. Everyone in the town is affected, business are gone include my family shoe shop, £40,000.00 of stock washed away, the shop is a shell and my car is still under water. My heart is broken for my family and for the other townsfolk. But I know them, the community spirit will win through.
The next storm is due soon, we are all hold are breaths.
I will keep reporting, take care guys.
Thnx TRACEY . My thought are with the people of Cumbria. Just shows how nature can turn from beauty to beast. Hope STEPHEN is safe and well in Allonby. No rivers to swell down there. Clear and cold here. Take care out there folks.

Cold and clear here now. Record breaking events further north. Sad news and massive disruption. Just a few feet ASL can make a big difference and those lovely vantage points near a river carry a big threat these days. Is it these days? Anyway hope all are safe and genuine best wishes to all who are caught in the extremes of the weather.
A few showers around 1.00pm today but absolutely nowt like cumbria. Some areas had around 110mm in a few hours. When we get around 6mm the road near me begins to flood!

Dry sunny day with little in the way of cloud, only distant shower clouds on the horizon.
Hope some of the sunshine made it over the Irish sea to you, RAIN LADY and also to those having to endure the gastly flooding.

Outlook

Starting dry tomorrow but soon clouding over as rain, heavy at times, spreads up from the south, this accompanied by strong to gale force southerly winds. Becoming brighter with showers later.
ELLIE, we are not out of the woods just yet so there will be yet more water for lough Neagh, the water in which has stayed where it should be. Like you we did not fare too badly over the last few days, just some temporary flooding of roads last night. Surely there will be some relief from this dreadful weather soon.
