STORM DENNIS. DISRUPTION in SOUTH WALES.

STORM DENNIS - DISRUPTION in SOUTH WALES.
When we filmed this earlier this morning, we had absolutely no idea of the severity of the damage caused by this storm. Our hearts go out to those who were seriously affected by this.
We are frequent users of public transport, here in South Wales, and are accustomed to disruption, however, today was off the scale even by our standards.
Having since seen footage of storm-related flooding further down the line in Pontypridd, Cardiff and elsewhere, our little plight has been very much put into perspective.

It is the same scenario we went through in November when Tammy and I filmed We Beat the Storm. I spotted it ready to occur 1 week ahead of time. It was followed by a second storm which was not as bad, but the same with 4 feet of snow in our mountains. Well, I see that there will be a second go in the Atlantic, next week.
