       Garage workbench cleared and cleaned.Lots of stuff got lifted onto it to get it above the water 🤷‍♀️Which now means we can clean and oil water damaged tools later. Surface rust on bits, and water got into odd stuff like the trolley jack and the like.But.Now pooched. 💤*(Also filled and moved a bunch of sand bags before starting.)*Time for a shower and food.

       @fitheach@mstdn.io House was OK.20cm of water swept through the garage, greenhouse and summer house.Got a hole under the back fence, badger sized, where it tunnelled out after moating the house.Not great, but better than some.Woman in a nearby village was swept away and list trying to save her dog 🙁

       @coth That's horrible, sorry to hear. At least, the house was OK Have you lost anything of value? Will you be able to claim from the insurance?

       @fitheach@mstdn.io Not worth the insurance. Mostly OK.Just a large amount of work to put everything right again. There is a bit of flood defense planning going on for future events though, so we don't have to do it to the same extent again.

       @fitheach@mstdn.io Yep, and tarpaulin. So bags and then tarpaulin pinned by them, lifted and stapled to raise the barrier 3ft.Will have everything cut and ready, so if it looks like we need it we can go and block all the ingress points in about 15 minutes.
