Just came back fae shoppin'.Whats wi aw the water....could be the rain???Swear I saw an auld guy wi a grey beard wi a boat made of wood leading two penguins and two giraffes up the ramp.Looked like Blackpool Zoo withoot the Gorillas:lol: .
Summer has ended me thinks!!!!:lol:
i was down town in thurso earlier on today, havin a quick cuppa in cardosi's caffe, and looked out the window and there wis a river flowin past down the pavement!! you couldn't get accross the road at the crossin unless you didny mind water up to yer ankles!!
Oh, great - the joys of being in an office without windows to outside, I'm oblivious to how bad the weather really is and almost drown when I go outside. Not a day for going a leisurely stroll then :roll:
ach no bad if ye've got yer wellies wi ya!! seen one poor lady havin to wade through the water with a pair of sandals on, just to get across the road.
:lol: that sounds like the kind of thing I would do - I wear jumpers in summer & t-shirts in winter :roll:
I have just heard that the fire engine is out at gillock assisting with draining water as some of the houses are at risk of getting flooded! The police have also closed the road. The price we pay for a good summer, huh?

The flooding is pretty bad around the county. I was through in Wick today and the roads are very dangerous with water lying quite deep in places. What is the point of ditches if there isn't provision for the water to drain off the roads into them?
Something I saw which I found quite distressing was the flooding in Wick cemetery - quite extensive in the newer section where my dear mum’s grave is – it was all under water.

Its rather nice here
bit cloudy but no rain and relatively warm too
i thought it it was ecause the weather is so hot im seeing water on the roads everywhere,hmmm ill make a cup o coffee and hay another look!

Beginning to feel like Piglet - surrounded by water. It's rising .....:cry: Like many, my old house has boards on bare earth. I keep expecting to wake up one morning floating round the bedroom - good thing bed has long legs. Met a hedgehog just now looking a bit lost, wonder if he's been washed out. Worms are looking very clean.

from the football pitch, but wherever it was coming from there was loads of it. :eek: :eek:

Was just commenting to the taxi driver last week that the roads don't seem to drain very well these days. There doesn't seem to be any channels from the road into the ditch anymore.
Beginning to feel like Piglet - surrounded by water.
I'm not surrounded by water. :confused
Sorry guys but it been really sunny here in lincs today. Saying that we had bad weather last week and the council has re surfaced the road now i get a big pond in my driveway as the rain runs the the wrong way now.:mad: jan x
Oops, sorry Piglet - forgot you were real on here. I've been reading too much Winnie ther Pooh lately and keep seeing the pic. with the upside down umbrella. Glad to know you're Ok though. I'm nearly surrounded and badger's holt isn't the best place to be in the wet.

IT just started to pour here about an hour ago and it hasn't stopped.Walked home tonight the streets and roads were just rivers.Soaked through:~(
have to agree with lavenderblue i too was very distressed at seeing my husbands parents and grandparents graves flooded ,also got a scare this morning coming to work the roads were really bad , and if i got my hands on the van driver who overtook me through the floods i hate to think what i might have done !!!
After reading all these posts and seeing a lot of water on the roads this afternoon, I was surprised there was not a flood watch issued, as we had one issued most days last week.
Or are these watches and warnings just for the rivers?
http://www.sepa.org.uk/flooding/warnings/index.aspx
I hope everyone dries out, I am sure a few people would have been splashed by cars today. Its funny to see but not when it happens to you.
It looks like I missed all the bad weather then, Drove up from Glasgow today and there was mist this morning but never saw rain until Caithness.
The weather is so hot.....saxovtr....ye on yer Caribbean cruise again? :lol:
ah sitting here in watten with my malibu and deck chairs in the back garden[lol]
Pity we couldnt collect it all and sell it to the south of England
Hey dinna send ye'r water doon here!
I've always wanted a water feature in the garden but with the deluges we've had over the last few days, the garden is the water feature .Was lapping at the back door on more than one occasion, even the cat puts on his water wings before heading out.
The fire engine was pumping out water near the wick football field causing traffic congestion and the roads at Keiss were badly flooded but not bad at John O Groats. the river at wester was in the fields, very bad flooding there. the roads are so bad because they took away the drainage and filled in the ditches.
Certainly when it comes to the roads outside of the Towns I can't remember when I last saw any of the channels between the roads and ditches which looked like it had been cleared.
In some places, even with light rain, there is standing water, never mind when there's a down-pour. Usually a small bank has grown between the road and the ditch at the side. It doesn't take any specialist knowledge to work out that digging a channel through the bank from the road to the ditch would solve the problem.
This would not involve any major roadworks or any massive expense. A mini-digger or even a couple of men with shovels would solve the problem. The attitude seems to be that it is easier to dump a few "Flood" signs about the county rather than solve the problem in the first place.
I appreciate that towns are a little more difficult because the drains tend to be buried underground.
That being said, if the same places are the ones subjected to flooding then, even there, it is a problem that needs solving.
Just ignoring what is happening and hoping it won't happen again is not an acceptable solution.
Jaws, when I was young (yes, I've got a great memory!) there were gangs of men who went round the countryside digging the channels from the roads to the ditches to keep them flowing freely. I have seen it being done more recently with a machine but obviously it is not enough.
Having said that, if flooding is really bad I suppose the water reaches a certain level and there is nowhere else for it to go. Expecially when it rains as hard as it has been this last day or so.
So, hands up all those who want to lose weight; let's form a team and go out drain digging! Who could ask for more? Excercise, fresh air, good craic with your mates, picnics in the open air AND waterless roads!
And before anybody says it, follow me, I'm right behind you! :lol:
Part of the problem has to be the fact that many ditches now have drainage pip in them instead of being a 'good old ditch'. With a ditch that has drainage pipe, topped with stones, they only have certain inlets, so unless the water is very clever and finds its way to the 'nearest emergency exit' then it is bound to cause a backlog of water. While I think there would still be a problem with flooding with un-filled ditches, at least they would have been filled to capacity before any houses were at risk of flooding.
Obviously, this only applies to the country, but with the corner at olrig street/traill street being knee high in water - for the second time in a relatively short space of time, its about time something was done about it.
i even have my sunglasses on today,deck chairs sum nice relaxing music and a few relaxing beverages i love the weather out here,flood?what flood?forgot to say the sunglasses because people are takin pics of me in rain and the flash of the camera is blinding me,deck chairs and table floating in 2 feet of water[lol]

Wonder if the flooding of the cemetary has anything to do with the drainage at the proposed development of MM Miller. If so you can bet there will be a repeat. The road looked very scarey, like a deep river, and highly distressing to people who have loved ones in the cemetary.

Noah went to see God to ask him for a new and improved 'ark'.
"Ok Noah. I think it is time you had a new ark", God said. "Take a seat, tell me your ideas, and I'll start a design".
"Well, firstly, I'd like it to have plenty of floors. Say, 5 or 6", Noah said.
"Ok... 5 or 6 floors" "I'd also like some spaces on the floors as well, to keep things in."
"Right, spaces." And with this God starts drawing a few designs for Noah. "Would you like some animals in there to start you off?" God asked him.
"Erm... Fish!" Noah replied. "Fish. Ok. What sort? Any in particular?"
"Carp, and plenty of them", Noah said. "Carp. Anything else needed?" God asked.
And they went through various items such as the colour, doors, windows, etc.
Finally, between them both they'd come up with a design that they both agreed on.
Sitting back in his chair admiring the new 'ark', God asked Noah,
"So, what are you going to call it? Have you thought of anything?"
"Well God. I thought I'd call it 'Noah's Multi-Story Carp Ark'

Now, now, Ann. Next you'll be telling us you remember when the little men went round the streets and swept the rubbish from the gutters so the grids didn't get blocked and the Council Wagon went round and cleared the build-up of muck that had gathered in the sumps to stop it getting into the drains and blocking them.
I suppose we have developed a new up-to-date modern method. Wait until the floods regularly get deeper then three inches, then dig up everything in site to clear the problem which was easily preventable in the first place.
Such quaint, old fashioned ideas, fancy still believing that "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure". It's far more exciting watching people try to cope with a disaster.

Don't exaggerate so, it's just a little damp and breezy!
However, I would suggest wearing wellies and don't even think about an umbrella unless you want an aerial view of the County! :lol:

No really i agree , i'm hoping that they will all get to stay in at break time, instead of hovering about in the bike sheds getting cold. One of mine has just got over a bug and I don't want him coming down with the cold or flu because the school won't let them stay in.:(
I was speaking to a fireman on 'flood duty' who said it was horrendous out there - he said the Hamnavoe was on princes street :lol: Glad to see they still have a sense of humour when out in the water filled streets.

Thanks H20 for that wee gem - which, as I read it, reminded me of "The Day After Tomorrow".
I set off to go to Wick on the A99 (The real A9) and have turned back.
Just to keep anybody who has not yet been out up to date, forget the Wellies, try waders, leave the car and try a boat.
The road is awash all over the place and I've seen a whole new set of burns and rivers where there were none before. I have no doubt that the rest of the County is as bad if not worse so take it easy if you go out.
That's me, I'm setting off again now with my snorkel and flippers just in case. Keep laughing folks, if you cry we'll all drown! :eek:

ive been listening to the radio all morning an dingwalls totaly flooded, the a9 is closed and there isnt any divertions due to land slides and tree on roads. the ferry sailed this morning but struggled alot to get tied up at scrabster, its rather late leaveing as mum isnt home yet either.i wouldnt make kids go to school in this weather as alot of them have to walk a way before they get to there buses or to the school if they live in town, i dont know why the primary schools have stayed open and the high school as im shocked buses are runing in these winds. it was similar wether to this when the harbour at scrabster flooded, hope that doesnt happen again.

My sister-in-law and my nephew and neice were convinced to use the train so they could head back south after a short visit the other day, because it's 'easier' than the coach.
The line to Inverness was heavily flooded, so they ended up having to take a minibus half the way, then change into another coach for the rest of the journey.
Looks like folks won't even have that option today!:eek:

FLOODING HITS HIGHLANDS
Dingwall's bearing the brunt of serious flooding affecting most of the Highlands. Many roads are underwater and people are being advised not to visit the town today. Council officials are warning they expect the flooding to get worse at high tide which is due at 2.30pm. Evanton, Tain, Alness and much of the Black Isle is also seriously affected. Roads in Sutherland have also been hit and in Helmsdale a funeral has had to be cancelled because the grave flooded. The police are urging people to think seriously if they need to travel today as conditions are hazardous. In Caithness the Castletown to Reiss road is under a foot of water and is not advisable for cars.

I've got to go from Thurso to Wick just now. Can the water get up into your car form underneath and make it conk out? sorry if that seems like a silly question
if your car is low to the ground very easily.. so just take it easy. the higher the car the better! (well except for the wind)

We have a waterfall thats across over on the other hill thats behaving like chimney smoke.Its amazing:eek: the wind is so strong its blowing iy back up the glen!Wish I had my camera back
Yes, Sweetpea, its possible - especially on an older car/battery, but the heat of engine should dry it out so that you can complete your journey.
Any trips unless an absolute must, should be avoided IMO - just not worth the risk!
Ok thanks I'm just going to take my time. I'm going for work but if it's bad I'll turn back

I've got to go from Thurso to Wick just now. Can the water get up into your car form underneath and make it conk out? sorry if that seems like a silly questionNot daft at all. If your car uses petrol then if water splashes into the engine compartment it can cause temporary problems with the electrics causing the engine to stop.
It will start again eventually after the electrics have dried out.
It ain't any fun if it's pouring down, you're stoped in 6 inches of water and you have to get out. If you drive slowly so you don't throw water all over the place you shouldn't have a problem.
Guess who found out the hard way in the first place. :cry:

Hi Sweetpea, go careful going from Thurso to Wick, the road is closed at Haster, the water is pouring down the hill like a river across the road at the little T junction and into the the house (think it's the Smithy??) across the road. Those poor people, they have sandbags piled halfway up their front doors and their yard is like a lake! They are diverting off the A882 there and up the minor road (don't know what it's called, sorry) and round and down past us in Milton. it's ok this end, but there's water for about a mile up the hill from Haster. We have loads of water in the field behind us which is draining though a hole in our wall, into our garden (which luckily is all concrete, so is washing straight down to the drains, or down the drive.)
This may seem like a niave question (bear with me i've only been here 3 weeks!!), but does flooding like this often happen??
Laura
--x--
take your wellies Sweetpea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no this kind of flooding is exceptionally unusual in my opinion.
Don't Panic Laura!!! Its not usually this bad - I've seen some rain in my time (I'm only 26!) but its never been this bad - even when Thurso river flooded last year, the rest of the area wasn't flooded as bad as this.
On a sad note, I heard a farmer in Watten lost 40 of his sheep as they were swept away by the river! :(

no this kind of flooding is exceptionally unusual in my opinion.
But is it??? Is this the new 'normal' for this time of year??
I remember people saying the same thing when the Safeway carpark flooded a couple of years ago!
Is this just another symptom of climate change??
If it is, then all the roads and rail lines need to be completely updated, and from what I understand, changing the rails up here is next to impossible due to the soft ground underneath certain sections!(which cause the trains to stay to a rigid speed limit, which makes it faster to travel by road....which is just daft!)
Just hope that like you said, this is VERY unusual!:confused
just been out exploring and there is loads of water everywhere the thurso to castletown road alone 6 or 7 bits flooded and all quite deep up near bt and the weigh inn to and at the toll gallery in thurso that is very deep the water is even comming up through the man hole covers which looks quite good (although it ain't obviously) the burn on the way to dunnet (bumamid one if that's how you spell it) has burst its banks big style to and is all over the road

NORTHERN CONSTABULARY
ON a point of clarity our previous press release stated that our partners the SAS were assisting us with the ongoing major incident.
Following a number of inquiries in relation to this we can confirm the SAS is the Scottish Ambulance Service and not the special forces unit.
Cant be THAT bad after all [lol]
Think it could be a case of wishful thinking. I'm planning on taking a wander down to the river to see what it's like at the foot bridge.
Don't really wanna get wet though... Och, nothin better to be doing I suppose.

thats Mr Charlatans saying Thurso college is shut now and he's on his way home. Actually he said he was going to the pub because the road is shut between Thurso and Castletown but, i didn't chose to believe him.
there's a wee patch of blue sky down by Dunnet forest and its not so windy or rainy now. Doggy Charlatans may get his walk after all.
from my lovely warm house which i'm very thankful for i'm going to send out a big thank you to the outside workers out there today, the bin men, the coal man (he's lovely) the postie, the police and especially the firemen and anyone else who's been slaving away in this nasty weather. I appreciate all the work you do in all weathers. :D

Just been out to Scrabster on a job. There is a waterfall from Holborn Head down to the back of the houses - I understand this is where the landslide is. The harbour is brown with the mud!!!
There is approx. 6" of flooding along sections of the Burnside road and up to 9" at the Business Park. The crossroads at Hill of Forss and the back road to Scrabster are deluged and it looks like that whole back road will only be passable by a higher-set vehicle.
If anyone from Dounreay is looking in then I would recommend posting a notice on the Intranet warning drivers to take it gently where there are dips or lower points in the road because it looks like there's going to be a LOT of water at numerous points.

This is a warning from the police taken from the www.hi-way.org (http://www.hi-way.org) site 26th Oct 2006:-
"NORTHERN CONSTABULARY
IT has come to the attention of Police that motorists have been using the A897 Helmsdale to Melvich road and the unclassified Glen Loth road, both of which are closed.
A number of vehicles are now stranded in that area and Police are warning drivers not to use these roads under any circumstances until advised.
These roads are CLOSED and it is imperative people do not use them.
There is limited or no mobile phone reception in these areas therefore motorists who do not heed this warning will become isolated with no communication possible.
In addition Police have information that motorists on the A9 at Portgower are driving through the road closed signs, therefore putting themselves and emergency services in danger.
We stress that drivers should take heed of road closed sign and remember that they are in place for their own safety.
Police and other emergency services, including all agencies involved in this incident, have to stress that this is an ongoing situation with more extreme weather predicted during the course of this afternoon and this evening which will affect a number of areas north of Inverness, Caithness and Sutherland and into the Orkney Islands.
Police are also advising motorists not to make any unnecessary journeys at this time."
It is getting dangerous to go for any distance at all if you don't know the up to date conditions. Anyone attemptiing to make an unnessary journey should stay put. The emergency services have enough to do without people going out to see the floods for themselves.

i had to take my poles down first thing this morning (and got soaking wet in the process) then thinking that was enough i went back in , packed the kids off to school then went back to have a look and was surprised to find it had moved to bottom end of garden so had to go back out (got soaked again) and drag it back up and put it beside the garage for some shelter and had to weigh it down with things (including my hubbys tool bag, hope he doesn't find out ) it's the heaviest thing i could find and also roped it down but don't know how much good it will do if the wind picks up even more

The tide is going to start coming in at Wick at 9pm then it will keep rising untill quarter to 2 in the morning. With the tide coming in and the river wanting to go out it doesent look good for somerfields lol

I had the day off today. Gutted about missing all the excitement. I didn't actually believe it when my mum came home and told me the place was flooded. So I went down to see for myself, and sure enough, they've got sandbags at the doors and the trolleys are floating around the carpark.
Oh No
