Came home to my garden flooded

This was my garden last Wednesday during the storm the water was 20" deep, lucky our garden is lower than the garden.

 

Yikes! I hope that the house wasn’t affected!

 

Hope not too much damage Ian

 

I assume its gone down now, hope not too much damage.

 

Hope all is well and the waiter is now heading back to normal.

 

Crikey, I hope there isn't any permanent damage.

 

No damage to the house, it's was about 2" from coming in. Just the garden got wrecked

 

It was the amount of rain, but we have a drainage culvert on our estate that is designed to remove large amounts of rain water, but it was blocked with fly tipping material. It has happened before and again the culvert was blocked. Also a small river burst it's banks. At least we are at home not like the people in Whalley Bridge, they notified residents in the village of Marple that if the dam burst it could flood the outskirts of Stockport.

 

Hi @Ian Taylor - yes I was worried for you all there too. I used to live in Bramhall (the non-posh end) and heard that it was flooded too. I used to work in Cheadle Heath...

 

Brahall round about got flooded and parts of Poynton. Been to the tip today 3 times taking stuff out of the sheds that are water damaged, lucky nothing to expensive
