Coventry Sinks! (Briefly)



This was the scene in our car park when I got home from work last Friday.
As I made my way through the city centre, past the magistrates court I suddenly found that I would have been far better off in a boat than the car!
Water was rising above other car's wheel arches, I have never seen anything like it in Coventry.
It was especially bad down on Cox Street under the sports centre.
Then, when I drove into our car park I found one hell of a flood, seems the drains had exploded.
DJ has long claimed Coventry doesn't have a river, apparently the River Sherbourne isn't a proper river. Mind you, he is used to living near the River Severn.
Well, on Friday August 18th 2006 Coventry did have a river! Even if it was only for about 30 minutes.

I'll believe this blog keeps going when I see it:) I know how much time these webby things can take to keep up to date.. why do we bother? shrug?
Hope the flood waters have sub-sided now Gareth!
Weather has been really weird this year..........
