Fucking hell that's a lot of rain. The garden is 10 cm underwater.
I know because I went out in it. Seemed like a good idea at the time. When I came back in the rain got harder. For about a minute it rained so hard that the gutters couldn't handle the load and water started entering the house via the central heating boiler vent and the back door (at quite a rate too!) We poured it down the sink, and the sink didn't drain.
Shit. That was biblical.

I walked past three times thinking 'which idiot housemate has spilled something on the stairs and not cleaned it up' before it clicked...
