Packing to evacuate..............again

[al78]

Well is now 03:15 and the rain is still torrential, and our plot is underwater. I think at this point it's just from the volume of rain. I hope it is and not from the river.

I know how bad they have it in Japan, but this is personal and I'm scared and angry that the Spanish Authorities could allow it to happen again.

If you want my advice, never move to Spain, it's a dump and they don't deserve the patronism.

I wish we could move, but we bought our house and have no chance of selling now, so we're trapped.

It was all so exciting and 'romantic' 10 years ago when we moved here, but like many other ex-pats, both here and who have returned to the UK, the dream has turned into a nightmare.

Looks like some relief later next week, the low pressure system that has been stuck over Spain/Portugal will slowly move away allowing high pressure to build from the west. The next few days look wet unfortunately.

Sometimes, building flood defences in one area can make things worse in other regions.

What else has gone wrong to turn the dream into a nightmare?
