It is sad to see the rainfall of the last few days has brought flooding to Scotland again. The BBC website has a round-up article worth viewing.
Meanwhile here in Freuchie residents were concerned at the height of the two burns that caused such devastating damage in August 2008. Luckily we avoided the heavy downpours that lead to surges in watercourses thereafter causing fluvial flooding. There has been consistent light rain interspersed with occasional heavier downpours, but we’ve not had anywhere near the intense heavy rainfall experienced in 2008.

The flood affected residents of Freuchie have certainly got fingers crossed over the next few days that we see little or only light rainfall. Heavy downpours would be most unwelcome due to the high watercourse levels and saturated ground.
