Wales 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

I can't redirect the water as i'm at the lowest point and the water flows into a stream nearby which never floods.
I've made sure all the road gullies are clear and await tomorrows downpour Big Cry
I'm not going to take any action other than being civil Thumbs Up

Yes, it was mad panic. The lane was like a river. I've been lucky thus so far compared to some unfortunate souls. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Can you dig a ditch toward the stream? Build a moud of mud/sandbags to deflect its course Question

Other than digging up the road, no. Problem is that the gulley tops get blocked with mud. All I can do is remove a few until the danger has passed. It's very rural here, but all the same, I'd need to keep an eye out for walkers. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

All okay last night, the road gullies coped despite a lot of water running down the road.

We were worried about you last night Greg.
The rain in town was heavy and prolonged...
Also saw the forecast with the blizzard lady.
Hope to see you soon.

Nick,
So far so good. Bit worried late Sat early hours Sunday morning. Lifted some gully tops which did the trick Thumbs Up
Still bone dry although my nerves are a bit Censored Thumbs Up

Watched the news tonight and I could cry for the poor souls who have been flooded.
They are helpless to prevent it. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
