Have You Ever Been In A Flood?

nope, i havent experienc having been in a flood. cause our place is high. but wait i remember once. when i went home on the way home from work all transpo were cancelled because of the strong rains. i remember when im walking i went into a place that has flood. i really dont know what to do. i cant even walk from it. cause im scared and i feel that theres an open whole and will eat me. really scary!

I live in the UK there are areas over the last couple of years that have suffered really bad flooding, luckily where I live we are lucky in that it rarely happens. However, I remember one year about 3 or 4 years ago now I was with a friend and we had gone to pick our kids up from school. I had a little boy in school and then a baby in a pushchair. We had picked them up from school and decided to pop into the supermarket on the way home. The weather had been lovely and sunny but we just got near to the supermarket and the sky went really black. We had only been in the supermarket for about 10 minutes when we looked at the weather and it was pouring down, I have never seen rain like it ever. It was running like a river outside, my friend managed to get her dad to come pick us up and he took us home the roads were amazing we could not see them I remember the kids being really frightened and I was scared and then it was thundering and lightening too. We arrived home safely, and it still kept raining, the drains in my garden were not coping with the rainfall at all and it was rising to the door, it did not help that we lived on an incline and so the water was running downhill. I phoned my hubby in the end because the rain rose to the door and was starting to come in the house so he came home from work and had to smash all the coverings away from the drains so that we could get it to flow down them! It was horrible and although it has never happened since I feel for those that do get caught up in this awful weather.

Yep, I live in a village called Beniarbeig, in Spain and last October we had massive rainfall that flooded so bad it brought only bridge in the village to a catastrophic end. They rebuilt and only opened it last week. If you take a look on youtube and search for Benearbeig Bridge, youll see loads of footage, I couldnt get out my house for 3 days. It was very scary I have to say!
