The bbc says our region is at risk from servere flooding tonight.

However, the Environment Agency says my village Marshland in the fens is not at risk.

So do I build an ark, do nothing or build half an ark?

I'd have thought height above sea level, plus distance from sea, are the things to consider. But if we never hear from you again, we'll assume you didn't make it...

Bloody floods are being blamed for the lack of my drinks fridge being delivered today. Not that they can't get to me, no, they can't get to many of their other deliveries so they are cancelling it. Poor show, where's their spirit of adventure!

The media love a panic. So what if a house does flood at night? The residents are sleeping upstairs... I'd rather stay at home than try to sleep in a chair at the local school.

Water was flowing over the banks of the Bure beside the Acle Straight this morning. My father had to go down there to check some cattle we have on the marshes. He said he could see waves on the river 18inches above the banks, spilling over as they went along! We weren't many inches away from a potential disaster!

Salt water has now got into all the fresh water dikes that the cattle drink from which is a bit of a problem.
