Nope, I don't live in England.
Did you get any water damage to your house?

I don't live in England but when I went to my grandfather's place, places of our city had flooded, my other grandma's house was affected, as well as other places. She's lucky my father stayed home. (and so was my granpa)

Yeah, we've had LOADS of rain. Fortunately, there's been no flooding in my area. I mean, there were massive puddles and plenty of torrential rain but in general it's been alright.

There was an amazing thuderstorm about a week ago. It was scary but awesome. That was, after we got the dogs in. They were in the garden covered in mud and my dad refused to let them in until a giant bolt of Fawk's (sp?) lightening came down not too far from the garden and Archie leapt up at the door so my dad let them in.

Birmingham doing good, to far inland/ high up to be affected I think, rain has been utter *cover ears naughty word* though

I don't live in England, but people in Texas have had some really bad floods. In Ohio, we desperately need rain, but not that much. I'm really sorry to whomever is affected by the floods.

I live in the UK, and near a ford (where a road crosses a river) at that. Thanks to the torrential rain, the river swelled up and overflowed and flooded people's houses. Luckily, I live a little higher up, but still...

Yeah, it's been really bad, luckily in Exmouth it's not too bad right now but in Budleigh where I used to live it's riskier, it flooded while I was there once, we couldn't get in our house but niether could the water thankfully.
I think the death-count for this summers floods is 5 now.
