after the storm

Thunder, lightning and heavy rain were the order of the day on Saturday – I’ve never seen so much rain in such a short time here, and certainly haven’t seen the water rise so quickly before. In the short space of time between my going outside and taking this photo the field next to the river had flooded and was overflowing into the river.

The roads were blocked in places, but it does appear to have been fairly localised as some places escaped the rain altogether.
