Has the Kennet burst it's banks...or is this just water that simply couldn't get away...?

No this is just rain water, on the phone to him now and he says its all gone now. Road is now open.
He just said there was a tractor picking up the kids from the school.
There is a lot of mess on the roads and gravel. Homes have been flooded.

Some serious flash flooding - hardly surprising given the fact that the slow moving intense wrap around passed over Thatcham. Quite remarkable that its all gone down now!

What amazing pics and transformtion in such a short time space. It would be easy to get swept away in water like that.

Truly amazing sequence. Were the waves caused by the traffic or flash flooding?

Just come off the phone, the waves were from the water nothing to do with the cars.
He says some places have had there gardens washed away.

Unbelievable scenes. The kids (if noone else) must've loved it though, going home through those floods in a tractor on the day they break up for the summer holidays.

So much water!!! and moving so quickly, looks quite dangerous. A good thing it cleared away so quickly.

Some more pictures taken at about 15:45 when it had subsided a bit.

There is more heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, so I hope we do not get a repeat of Friday

Hi Steve,

I am attempting to collect images, videos and personal stories of the floods to create an archive for the Thatcham Historical Society (www.thatchamhistoricalsociety.org.uk). Firstly we would like to keep a record for future generations, but also would like to document the event.

As such, would you/your brother be willing to allow us to have a copy of your images/videos/stories, place them in our archive and use in future publication. We will of course acknowledge the photographer/author/etc.

Regards
Nick
