Update: The water started to recede at around 11pm last night and was gone by this morning.

So it’s just a case of mopping up, removing carpet etc. and drying out now.

OH managed to nurse the car home this morning, but it’s not very well.

A warning light is showing on the dash and the alarm keeps going off so he’s had to disconnect the battery.

Don’t know whether the car will recover but we’ve been so very fortunate compared to others.

The community spirit has been amazing with everyone looking out for each other, even one of our neighbours has been down there to help.

I really appreciate the support and kind words from posters on here. It was particularly worrying with an elderly person not in the best of health being involved.

So, thank you guys
