Is Accrington likely to flood?
Check out this site to see if your area is in danger of flooding.
Up here we seem to be pretty safe but the roundabout under the viaduct looks to be the focus of most of the water. Scaitcliffe House looks none too safe either. I wonder if PB & Co have got any dinghies.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
It says mine is 0.1% (1 in 1000) or less so I should be ok.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
Well according to that, for the first time ever, I'm blue.
Perhaps I'll wear a blue rosette to celebrate.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
It's just made me think about that posh new building that's going up next to the lodge down there!
Great selling point for flats - overlooking Accrington' flood plain!

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
Looks like I just miss out, the area around the viaduct and the dip in Church going down Henry St just about save me, But the Bridge Inn looks at risk, likely that they may have to sell some watered down beer if it does happen.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
I'm just wondering if the Hyndburn overflows will it burst up through the floor in Wilkinsons?

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
It will take a lot before we flood here chez Whisp. I'm rather glad now that we didn't move to Morecambe.
