people might remember the last few days flooding in wales and riverside caravan park that got flooded

Ouch :o thats a big site if it`s the one I`m thinking of.
Never been in there but know the area well from staying in the touring site just over the road a few times.
Good luck and hope it all works out OK
Oh dear! I hope there isn't much damage. :thumbsdown:
Those waters shown ther are 6-8 inches higher now, 2 cars at risk were trying to move em soon....,, gonna be a long night we got 20-30 people with nowhere to go,,,,
My brother lives just down the road from you - Pagham. Not as bad but not pleasent.. Good luck - there Fratton, Hope you stay dry..
Well things were much worse today when I arrived at work (8am) and the waters dropped by lunch, we're on itv meridians website ill try a link later but on iPhone, the water is back higher than ever as we are at the mercy of the river that runs through site it has tide gates and while they are shut the water wil keep rising, will post some picks of here when I'm home and dry,,,,,
Saw this on Meridian - very grim indeed
Here's a selection of photo's from todays efforts, much more work to do, milton yard wont be seeing much work this week at least while we try to straighten things up at work,,,,,,,
the music was chosen because it's a workplace tradition on facebook to claim hero status when going above and beyond the call of duty at our work and i think everyone got that today and yesterday,
the waters have risen again and are falling, hopefully the water will go by the end of next weekend,,,,,

Forecast is that it is going to be largely dry in the South today. Looks like there is a bit more forecast for Thurs but not of the same magnitude.
Thanks for posting the videos - awful for the people in the site
