Lindor Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I like the electrical storms you get in Central Europe don't have them in the UK, does Perth have them? I think they do Baz, never seen one but I'm sure my OH posted a photo of one on FB ages ago, can't find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caramac Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The Tyne has burst it's banks on the Quayside!! My daughter's on her way back from there now! It was certainly running faster than I've ever seen it in Hexham earlier - the ducks were on their way to Newcastle whether they wanted to be, or not! Branches everywhere and the few remaining leaves have given up hanging on. It was so sunny and calm when I was walking, you'd never have believed what had gone before!

I've seen the Quayside flooded before, the same day my house was flooded but that was from a mad storm and it was running into the Tyne, to see the Tyne rise up and overflow onto the Quayside is just mad!
