I cound myself lucky as I was not affected at all. Weather was shitty, 4 days of non stop raining, but nothing more. No storms, no winds, just rain, rain, rain. I live at the top of a hill, so no problem.

My colleague was scared, though. She lives near river and her (ground level) flat was already flooded once 25ish years ago. This time the water risen flooded some of her neighbouring gardens, but stopped few steps from her door.

The worst effect was on place I work at. There's ongoing reconstruction of the building and while the roof is supposed to be finished, it definitely did not look like it inside. There were multiple places where water went through, so wet walls, ruined drywall ceilings, water in cables, etc. Nothing devastating, but really inconvenient.

Still nothing compared to those poor souls who lost everything in a heartbeat.
