FlyerTon Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Scene at the A8 just outside Cappielow this morning. The usual flooding place at the Ladyburn. Doesn't look like much, but causes traffic chaos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 My father was at one time Chief Emergency Planning Officer for D&G. There is an old photo of him in 70's or 80's in a rowing boat halfway up the Vennel, almost at the junction with Irish Street Jesus, it didn't get quite that high today although it was a fair bit up the Vennel! I remember one of the previous floods, possibly the one in 2009, someone decided to take a canoe or a kayak out in the evening after the Nith had burst its banks. The polis were less than impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get a copy of photo from my Mother I'll scan it for you. I've certainly never seen the Nith so high. Not sure if the Courier or Standard had a copy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the Courier or Standard had a copy I work at the Standard and there probably is a copy kicking around somewhere, but god knows where - the old copies are in the Ewart Library so it'll be buried in there. Great fun trying to get tomorrow/Saturday's paper out as they cut the power last night and hadn't turned it back on. We ended up in the library while the subs etc had to go to Glasgow to lay out the pages. One of them was not very happy to put it mildly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) A fair chunk of the A93 has gone missing... https://www.facebook.com/stvnews/videos/10153758435943670/ To think that folk were going over what was probably a hanging bit of road. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/video-watch-driver-passes-section-road-washed-away-raging-river-dee/ Here's what it looked like before, so that's a fair bit of bank that's been ripped away.
