Summary
Details

Step into the floodwaters with Andrew, John, and me as we navigate the chaos and surreal moments of a storm that turned roads into lakes. Filled with striking photos and illustrations, this book captures both the raw intensity of storm Babet and the light-hearted, human moments that arose amidst the devastation.

Follow our perilous commute home through rising floodwaters, where we encounter unexpected surprises, including a group of ravers lost on a golf course. As water threatens to engulf our homes, each decision feels like a gamble. After a pint at the pub, we press on. Facing further challenges and moments of camaraderie along the way.

But the story doesn't end when the floodwaters recede. The aftermath reveals the true cost of nature's fury-the destruction, the recovery, and the deep impact on our community.

Ever wondered what it's like to face a deluge head-on? This firsthand account offers a gripping and heartfelt glimpse into life in the floodwaters.

Wellies and a waterproof jacket are advised.
