Taking inspiration from Davy Bowman's antics in Angus, 2 reds. Hopefully not a third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky News now going for the 'Break-in' pronunciation I see. Aye crazy, not had a rain storm like this for a very long time. Apparently the Brechin flood defences were built to stand up to anything other than a once in 200 year flood event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 This eejit tops the other eejit for not only not evacuating but trying to drive through flood water. It puts other people who have to come and get them lives at risk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's lasted well. Two people, so far, in Angus dead because they didn't stay at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I know folk have obviously stayed when they shouldn't have but the number of abandoned cars in these pictures and videos is mental. Are they just intentionally leaving cars out in the hope insurance buys them a new one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a way around without too much added milage for the determined? (unless you're a lorry driver) An hour ago the road into Marykirk was closed at the bridge coming in from Montrose and the bridge at North Water Bridge has been closed since yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been advice that people should move their cars to higher streets? I think it's just one of those things in these circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave94 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Yesterday the Met Office was certainly not panicking, their rivals in accurate weather prediction The Daily Express took full advantage of the situation to inform their readers in their usual calm manner using their interpretation of the Met Office map of Scotland without the zoom in button to provide reassurance to the Scottish public that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Then others on social media started getting in on the act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think that but if they've more than 1 car then there's surely more than 1 driver. I just would not be leaving a car to get washed away but maybe that's just me. 9 minutes ago, Archie McSquackle said: Are most of them not just parked outside their own homes?

Aye but if they evacuated I thought they'd take them with them. Obviously some folk will get stuck and have to abandon, I appreciate that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round here it’s normally people waiting too late and then choosing the vehicle they feel is most suited to getting out safely (and they’re usually wrong on that) while leaving the others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
