Apart from some high winds, very large puddles on the slip roads to the A127, local parks being shut and the river down the bottom of our street being quite a bit higher than normal (although I have seen it twice as high in previous years when we had no named storms), we’ve been relatively untouched by storm Dennis. Just before we moved into this house in March 1990, we had two large trees blown down in the garden and a few years after that we had tiles blown off the roof. Again, just a general bit of bad weather and not a named storm.
Looking at the news though, it’s been disastrous for many people up and down the country and the mess and muck that’s left in a house when flood water recedes is absolutely horrendous - I don’t know how I’d cope with it. I’d also be of the mind that if it’s happened once, it could happen again and I think I’d want to move. Many can’t and it must be dreadful for them just fearing the next one to come along. I’d also imagine a previously flooded house would be difficult or expensive to insure - I know the people down the end of my road that live within 100 yards of the river complain about the price they pay for insurance.
Has anyone on here been affected by storm Dennis?
