Wow, (again with the wow), we're underwater. Well, not quite, but Hull is on the coast, Hull is flat, on sea-level, and it's been raining constantly for a few days now. With severe weather warnings across the country, Hull has been hard hit. In fact, while my end of the street seems OK, the fountain in the picture below and the other end of the street are under one/two foot of water. The water is up to car radiator grills, huge pools of water are everywhere and there were staff waiting outside shops at 10.20am because bosses haven't managed to get to work yet to let them in. The traffic is appalling, and my ability to get to Huddersfield this weekend is in doubt. See the memo that has been sent round the University this morning:
"Dear colleagues. Today's exceptional weather conditions have resulted in the closure of the Bynmor Jones Library until further notice. Flooding caused by the weather has also placed many electrical systems at risk of sudden failure. It is therefore recommended that colleagues save their work on a regular basis due to the possibility of an unannounced power outage. We will issue updates to colleagues as further information becomes available."
Hmmm... this has definitely not happened before!!

Similar freeky weather in Syndey has wiped out two days of our development via a nsaty power cut...
It is also buggering up the cricket - which is well out of order!
Wierd.... it's lovely here. No sign of rain.
Oh, hang on, that's right, I'm in SJ :P MUHAHHAHAHA
Look at it this way, maybe Hull will be slighly cleaner now and your "Wino in a Bog" will have been washed away......
That's Huddersfield. ;-)
Grrrr!
