title The Christmas Eve Floods, Diss, Norfolk - 24th December 2020 intro Heavy rain falls on sodden ground, and as usual the Waveney river running along the edge of Diss floods, however it's much worse than usual as a bike ride in to town reveals. The junction of Victoria and Sawmills Roads is particularly bad, isolating the new-ish care home opposite Desira garage, but luckily a dude is on hand with a high-wheeled lorry to help ferry staff through the floods. imgp5206 There's a rainbow over the flooded golf course imgp5209 Floods near the old-people's home imgp5210 There's not much golf to be played today imgp5211 The field on Stuston Road has predictably flooded imgp5216 Large parts of the golf course are flooded imgp5218 Some flooded houses imgp5221 The fire engine is on standby for pumping imgp5222 Householders look out imgp5227 The White Elephant is surrounded by water imgp5228 There's some sort of flooded TV imgp5229 The fire engine is partly blocking the road imgp5232 Traffic lights in a shallow lake imgp5233 The Serious Loggin' lorry has the wheels for it imgp5235 Thumbs-up from the Serious Loggin' driver imgp5238 Driving through the floods imgp5243 The junction of Sawmills Road imgp5245 Sawmills Road imgp5246 Someone walks through the floods to Desira imgp5251 Abandoned cars and a floating wheelie bin imgp5256 Desira Garage is cut off imgp5258 The garage staff rescue some cars imgp5262 A Land Rover makes it through imgp5267 A traffic island becomes an actual island imgp5270 Serious Loggin' comes back from the care home imgp5275 The old chapel imgp5284 The staff get a lift to the care home imgp5291 A For Farmers HGV ploughs through the flood imgp5298 The Waveney has predictably flooded near the Lows imgp5301 The footpath was flooded to cycle-pedal level imgp5302 The footbridge peeks out above the water imgp5304 The water-level marker has disappeared in The Mere imgp5306 The peeling sign of the Laundrette in Mavery House imgp5307 The Laundrette - Lettuce wash your duvet imgp5309 Mavery House imgp5312 The small house by the White Elephant is surrounded imgp5313 Another view of the submerged golf course imgp5315 The meadow near the gold club imgp5317 The flood is right up to Waveney Caravan Park imgp5320 Nosher's bike, and a Triumph Herald imgp5325 Water bubbles up from the drains near the Stuston S bends imgp5329 Angry sunset over the sodden side field
