This is likely too late for most but I'm not long back.

King Street between the BoD and St Machar Drive roundabout is a loch just by the Lidl shop.

It's still raining so I'd be surprised if it's not still the same in the morning ... meaning chaos.

Maybe best go down the beach way in to town.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Eric smile

I had to take 3 diversions due to blocked roads on the way home from Bridge of Don last night, and ended up driving through over 10 inches of water at one point. At Dyce there was a car with only the roof visible under the bridge at the old Skean Dhu hotel/Bank of Scotland area.

On the road from Westhill to Blackburn (which we barely made it through at about 4pm), water was actually coming up through the middle of the road complete with rocks and lumps of tar. Looks like a pipe had burst somewhere and the water was taking the easiest route out.

yeh, I passed through it on the bus yesterday. Around 4ish. There was a little steam coming from the bus because the grill was under water, and water was like up the side of the wall at the side of the pavement. Pretty horrendous.

We haven't drowned! Yet! The river is very high and getting quite close to the banking, quite worrying but aslong as the rain stays off for a while it might die down a bit, might grab a pic on my way home smile

Think grandholme is fine. Live not far from there and mates lives there and they seem fine. Teacher couldn't get into school because she was "flooded in" but she lives in the shire.

It's Grandholm! No 'E' tongue out

Well I'm sat in Grandholm in the living room and there aren't any fish floating by my feet so were fine! Aslong as it doesn't chuck it down tonight it should be fine here!

That's like people from Westhill calling it Westhills.

No offence to Westhill residents of course.
