Newsflash chalais underwater!!!

 

Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th

It has rained so much the little town of Chalais has finally drowned!! The river broke its banks unsurprisingly and as it passes through the Centre of Chalais the whole of the town’s streets are now underwater!!! The intermarche is knee deep in water and so is the petrol station and a few of the little local shops in the dip where the market is have all been flooded and were struggling to save stock. The high street is blocked off and we have to wait till it all drains away. I doubt there will be any market tomorrow and I really hope all the folks in town are okay, if we’d known sooner we could have sent out an LG party to do some rescue work!! Lets hope for a stop in the rain tomorrow
