I have googled my house and taken this image. I have used photoshop to paint in the area locally that were flooded. This is not showing last fridays flash floods that caused so much damage in the area, flooding the roads and businesses and houses. This is showing the very local extent of the river severn floods of this week. Most seriously was the flooding of the sewerage works. That alone caused evacuations. The image is actually quite out of date as a stonking great new road has been built from the green bit to the right of the sewerage works going north. And yes, it flooded and was closed until Thursday. Only opened in May.

AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION
This week my car insurance is up for renewal. Last week I did a lot of online quotes. That was before the floods.

This week I did them again as I had not managed to finalise what I wanted before the floods came and the internet was lost for a few days. Lummy, most of the quotes have gone up, some by £50. Blooming heck, glad I renewed my house insurance last week.
One small consolation in all this, as my house was not flooded in the UKs worst flood for over 300 years, I guess I should be able to get reasonable cost insurance, in comparison to the poor people who have been flooded. Of course everyone will have to pay more, goes with out saying, and with around £25M in road damages alone, our council tax will shoot up next time too.
