Floods...

We've had about a day and a half without rain - if you add up the bits here and there - and the ground is pretty wet. The floods in Talybont, Dolybont, Aberystwyth and the A487 cut us off for a bit but the houses, roads and caravan sites are going to take a lot longer to recover. Lots of people are looking for places to rent as insurers have told them it'll take 5-6 months to repair the houses.

This is from the road towards Cors Fochno/Borth Bog:



Debris brought down the hill onto the A487:


Trying to get to the station in Borth via Ynys Las:


The stream by our house went from dribble to torrent overnight:


Even Springwatch at Ynys hir got a soaking! So not a lot of work done for a few days - the foundation builder's office was flooded - but the site drained ok, considering it's a bowl nearly ready for filling.

No surprise no concrete then.
