It has been raining virtually non-stop here since, well, I forget really, but feels like November! It's been a bit much, and the river agrees. The Thames has crested in some spots weeks ago, with many homes partially under water since before Christmas. And it's only gotten worse. It really just needs to stop now, or we need to find a way to siphon off all of our flood waters to the drought affected out in California. We have broken all kinds of flood records already, and although we got a bit of a break today, more rain is on the way.

Riverside or Riverbottom?

I'm in a bubble here in central London and didn't realize it would be so bad where you are! crazy! Those poor houses along the riverside and their poor owners! This morning looks like it could go either way with the rain, I hope it turns sunny for the UK's sake!
Such a great idea to document it! Love the pictures . . . not the swollen river!
