Last night I encountered the severest rainfall ever…it was nothing less than apocalyptic!
I was awakened around midnight by the sound of gushing water.
It had been raining all day and the forecast was for the rain to persist until around 6am on Sunday morning.
Getting up and putting on my dressing gown, I opened the back door and switched on the outdoor light, to witness water rising up towards the door.
Grabbing a torch, I shone it along the back of the garden and was amazed to see waterfalls, cascading down from the hill behind the cottage, onto the gravel in my little courtyard.
It was horrendous…and very, very frightening!
I put my raincoat on over my dressing gown, slid into my wellies and clutching the torch, headed up the back garden, to see if it was possible to redirect the torrents.
I spent the next three hours with spade, hoe and rake, trying my hardest to channel the flooding away from it’s path of destruction.
I succeeded…eventually!
This is extreme weather of biblical proportions!
The result of Climate Change due to the machinations of man…everything points that way!
