The pub where we have out kilt nights...

...was underwater this week. My understanding is that this picture was not taken during the worst of it. Of course, hundreds of people lost homes, so our pub is not the greatest tragedy. Still, this breaks my heart.

Oh dear....here is hoping for the best. Let us know.

Yikes! that looks terrible.

Wow, that's crazy!

[Redhawk]

Save the Scotch! But seriously, I hope everyone is ok..

That is taking watering down the beer to the extreme. Unfortunately this happens in York all too frequently with some riverside pubs and hotels.

I drove by at high water. Add about two feet to the level shown in the photo!

A massive clean-up is under way, and dozens if not hundreds of other businesses are in the same fix. The toll of private properties and homes is yet to be determined, but it's huge....

A sad sight indeed - let us hope that all the important bottles were rescued in time.

My mother's family are still living in and around York - they have lived there long enough to know where to buy houses - even in the highest floods in living memory the water was not lapping at their doors. It might entirely surround them, but a little island a few hundred yards wide is all they need to keep their feet dry.

In Poole over the last week or so we have had the tail end of two hurricanes giving the trees a good rattling and dumping torrential rain. Only briefly, as they are much faded things by the time they reach us - but it is time to redin the garden for the Winter.

I'd say that's probably fouled the taps.

I can only imagine the amount of time and effort (and $$$'s) needed for the cleanup effort.

Spent a few months in NOLA after Katrina. Flood cleanup sucks.
It's part of why I got out of the remediation industry.
