flood news

Back in Carlisle. Worst floods in nearly 200 years.
My mum’s basement got hit but we basically got off lighty. Others weren’t so lucky.
The river seems to have receded. I was walking down Warwick Road this evening. Weird to see all the houses abandoned.
The saddest thing in the street was some poor chap’s brownstone… with a Realtor’s “Sold” sign still on it… he probably only bought it a week or two ago at THE HEIGHT of the UK property market, and now… like I said, poor chap.
