Malestoit…. Orange weather warning…

Now enjoying fog, calm dense fog. A welcome change from wind, rain, more wind and more rain.

Malestoit, our nearest town has a canal running through it and although very pretty in the summer… has caused no end of damage during the last week.

The Orange weather warning has just been lifted and earlier this week this was close to being a Red weather warning.

Severe flooding... many roads closed

Many houses were flooded, the fire brigade used boats to evacuate houses, the two secondary schools were closed due to flooding (much to my daughters delight!!) and many roads are still closed.
For those of you that know Malestoit, you will not recognise the photos I took yesterday….
This photo is on a road …. leading to a dead end…

Many roads in Malestroit still flooded

It may be a while before this family play badminton!!
