Floods

Floods similar to those in Newcastle, (NSW) have devastated much of the English midlands. There have been hundreds of people's homes and cars under water. Sheffield Football Stadium's pitch was 12ft under water! (I performed at the same football stadium only three weeks ago). Parts of the M1 Motorway have been closed due to flooding. A motorway....flooded?!

Now, it does rain a lot here, but this is ridiculous!

Matt and I have not been affected badly; Matt's 2hour drive to Nottingham, tripled in time, my trains were cancelled; and one of our shows was postponed. There have been some devastating stories however, and the death toll is up to 5 people.

One of the teams in our company got a 'little stuck' on the M1 Motorway, for hours. After being diverted, they, along with several other vehicles ended up waist deep in water. The car was afloat with sets, costumes and sound system in the back and had to be towed out by a lorry. The AA (NRMA equivalent) obviously had a backlog of cars to rescue and so never actually made it to them. They arrived home at 4am the next day. The car is a 'right-off' and the insurance company won't cover it because it is considered "an act of God".

A week on, and it is still raining. Thankfully God's rainbows are a reminder that He won't flood the earth again. Without this knowledge, you'd have to wonder.
