Terrible scenes in Monmouth. Homes and businesses underwater, roads cut off and serious flood damage, after the River Monnow burst its banks.

A mini-solo adventure for a few hours today.
Abererch - had beach mostly to myself.
Between the water logged land and the overgrown brambles and ferns, there were many potential dead ends.
But i carried on, jumped a few gates, fences, and many many puddles!

The newly renovated and restored pub on the river. Destroyed having literally just reopened.

So much rain coming down relentlessly all day. A5 between Tregarth and Bethesda was barely passable. A BMW started to smoke just after this and got a bit buoyant.
1.5C exceeded. More scenes like this to come, more frequently, and closer and closer to home.

If Severe warnings have been issued, has an emergency alert ‼️ notification been issued in the area? Or is that only enabled when it’s UK or England severe warnings?
Curious.
Asking from personal perspective here and not having a go at all the agencies working hard around the clock tonight

Yeah I've not seen much flood stuff on here either. Currently there are about 25 flood warnings and 36 flood alerts when I put Glos into check for flooding so would expect more

Observation. Less #floodaware type content here than in 10 years ago on the other place? Or is it just my algorithm?
Facebook local groups has all the road closures / calls for sandbanks though

I used to remember all the Severe flood warnings issued. They were very rare. Once in 5 years or so we’d see them.

Monday is bin day here. So Sunday afternoon is when i Google what bin day it is…
Bins was something that was mentioned in several conversations at @govcampcymru.bsky.social
I wonder, is there a council out there where you can sign up for a text the night before and tell you what bin/s to put out?
