Damm its been a bad night here in Somerset, flooding and 26 car pile up
 

First we had flooding here in Bridgwater which caused half the road to colapse and some of the wall for the river Parrot cracked If it goes at high tide it will take some of the houses with it. On top of that we just had a 26 car pile up wich has caused deaths on the M5 near Taunton which is one of the roads I use reguarly.

Apart from all of that going on the Carnival went very well here Ill post some pics in another thread of it

Looks like the start of 2012, nice knowing you halfpint.

lol half of Somerset is built on flood plains and even new houses are being built on them now The local council and developers dont care as long as they make their money from it

Live feed there was a fire with the pile up

7 dead and over 40 injured

Insane! Unusual for a pile up on that scale...

Been foggy last couple of days and people don't slow down to compensate for not being able to see past the end of their nose.

The fog did lift at about 8pm here in Bridgwater and I know there was a fire work display going on right near where the accident happened which people are saying covered that part of the motorway with smoke.

Thats the trouble with bonfire night (yeah, i know it's tonight but people start early) is that all the dirt in the air causes thick fog hours later.

Yep and it was a pretty big display which the rugby club hold

where the people at on they roofs?

Not sure waht u mean lol.. Some of the lorrys and cars caught fire which people are saying were over 20 foot high

joke reference to Hurricane katrina in my hometown .

ah lol The flooding here was no where near as bad as that. If the river parret wall collapses then it might be a differnt story. Im gonna go down later on and see if I can get some piccys

It was a 34 car pile up with 7 being killed and 51 injured

Damn,what a mess over there

I didnt live to far from the 70 car pile-up in central florida almost 5 years ago. It was the worst thing ever to hear about! :( I feel bad for those people over there going through it!

Yep it is they are still trying to get some of the bodies out and it is one of the worst I have seen over here in a long time

Yeah its not nice, Im about 4 miles from it, they are now saying that 10 people have died
